Abstract
Results of an in-vitro study of N-2 laser excited autofluorescence fro m cancerous and adjoining normal human uterine tissues are presented, Discrimination functions based on multivariate linear regression analy sis of the spectra could discriminate between the two tissue types wit h sensitivity and specificity values towards cancer of 100% when the c ancerous site exhibited red fluorescence band and around 90% when canc erous site did not show red fluorescence.
