Classification pipeline for in vivo Raman spectroscopy-aided colorectal cancer detection

Original language description

With more than 1.9 million new diagnoses per year [1], colorectal cancer is among the leading globalcauses of death in cancer patients. While the definitive diagnosis usually involves biopsy, in vivo Ramanspectroscopy, a less invasive examination method, has shown great potential to discriminate betweennormal and cancerous tissue [2] . However, the absence of a suitable classifier as well as the timeconsuming and expertise demanding pre-processing of such in vivo Raman spectra are the mainobstacles to the adoption of this minimally invasive technique in clinical practice. By developing a real-time classification pipeline coupled with a user-friendly utility for non-spectroscopists, we look toremedy these obstacles. In addition to routine colonoscopy, in vivo Raman spectra of healthy andcancerous colorectal tissue were acquired using a custom-made microprobe. The spectra were thenloaded into the pipeline and pre-processed in several steps, including normalisation and finite impulseresponse filtration. The quality of the pre-processed spectra was checked using signal-to-noise ratiobefore the suitable spectra were decomposed and classified using principal component analysis andrandom forest, respectively. Additionally, a utility with a graphical user interface was developed tofacilitate the use of our data pipeline by non-spectroscopist in a clinical environment. Overall, thecombination of algorithmic preprocessing of in vivo measured Raman spectra with supervised andunsupervised machine learning appears to be a viable way of reducing the relatively large number ofbiopsies currently needed to definitively diagnose colorectal cancer.
