Intra-operative assessment of sentinel lymph nodes for breast cancer surgery: An update (2021)
Journal Article
Barkur, S., Notingher, I., & Rakha, E. (2022). Intra-operative assessment of sentinel lymph nodes for breast cancer surgery: An update. Surgical Oncology, 40, Article 101678. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.suronc.2021.101678

Lymph node (LN) involvement is the strongest prognostic factor in operable breast cancer (BC). Therefore, accurate assessment of LN status is essential for management of BC patients. The introduction of sentinel LN approach reduced the need for exten... Read More about Intra-operative assessment of sentinel lymph nodes for breast cancer surgery: An update.

Feasibility of integrated high?wavenumber Raman imaging and fingerprint Raman spectroscopy for fast margin assessment in breast cancer surgery (2020)
Journal Article
Liao, Z., Lizio, M. G., Corden, C., Khout, H., Rakha, E., & Notingher, I. (2020). Feasibility of integrated high?wavenumber Raman imaging and fingerprint Raman spectroscopy for fast margin assessment in breast cancer surgery. Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 51(10), 1986-1995. https://doi.org/10.1002/jrs.5937

Intraoperative assessment of surgical margins remains one of the main challenges in cancer surgery. Raman spectroscopy can detect cancer cells with high accuracy, but it is time‐consuming. In this paper, we investigated a selective‐sampling Raman spe...

Intra-operative spectroscopic assessment of surgical margins during breast conserving surgery (2018)
Journal Article
Shipp, D. W., Rakha, E. A., Koloydenko, A. A., Macmillan, R. D., Ellis, I. O., & Notingher, I. (2018). Intra-operative spectroscopic assessment of surgical margins during breast conserving surgery. Breast Cancer Research, 20, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13058-018-1002-2

Background: In over 20% of breast conserving operations, postoperative pathological assessment of the excised tissue reveals positive margins, requiring additional surgery. Current techniques for intra-operative assessment of tumor margins are insuff... Read More about Intra-operative spectroscopic assessment of surgical margins during breast conserving surgery.
