| Popis: | Esophageal diseases result in significant mortality, morbidity, and health care costs worldwide. Current approaches to detect and monitor esophageal diseases have severe limitations. Advanced imaging technologies are being developed to complement current approaches to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and surveillance protocols in order to advance the field. Raman spectroscopy-based technologies hold promise to increase the sensitivity for detection of diseased and high-risk lesions in vitro and in vivo in real time. This technique allows for the investigation of microstructural changes and also facilitates the discovery of disease-specific biochemical alterations with the potential to provide novel insights into the pathobiology of these conditions. Raman spectroscopy has been increasingly applied in precancerous and cancerous esophageal conditions. However, its application in benign esophageal diseases is still in the early stages. Continuing its application in cancerous and precancerous conditions and expanding its use to benign esophageal disorders could lay a foundation for integration of this technology in clinical practice and diagnostic paradigms and development of an accurate and cost-effective tool for use in a clinical setting. Furthermore, Raman spectroscopy can also be used as an innovative technique to advance our understanding of the biochemical transformations associated with esophageal diseases and answer a myriad of fundamental questions in the field. In this review, we described the principles of Raman spectroscopy and instrumentation while providing an overview of current applications, challenges, and future directions in the context of esophageal diseases with an emphasis on its clinical translational application. |
