Fluorescence spectra from cancerous and normal human breast and lung tissues

The fluorescence spectra have been measured from native chromophores in malignant and normal human breast and lung tissues. The spectra profiles were found to be different in both species. In addition, one normal breast tissue exhibited Raman spectra.
