To evaluate the potential of laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy for the detection of premalignant lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, the hypothesis that adenomatous transformation of colonic mucosa results in an alteration of laser-induced fluorescence that enables its differentiation from normal or hyperplastic tissue was tested. A fiberoptic catheter coupled to a helium-cadmium laser (325 nm) and an optical multichannel analyzer were used to obtain fluorescence spectra (350-600 nm) from 35 normal colonic specimens and 35 resected adenomatous polyps. A score based on six wavelengths was derived by stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis of the spectra. The mean score (+/- SEM) was + 0.86 +/- 0.06 for normal mucosa and -0.86 +/- 0.06 for adenomatous polyps (P less than 0.001). Spectra from an additional 34 normal specimens, 16 adenomatous polyps, and 16 hyperplastic polyps were prospectively classified with accuracies of 100%, 100%, and 94%, respectively. The mean score for hyperplastic polyps was significantly different from adenomatous (P less than 0.001) but not from normal tissue. Thus, quantitative analysis of fluorescence spectra enables the detection of adenomatous transformation in colonic mucosa. |
