Automated system enables real-time malignancy grading of prostate tumors
The precise identification of tumor boundaries during radical prostatectomy remains a major clinical challenge. As positive surgical margins occur in 15–40% of prostate cancer cases, the risk of postoperative recurrence and functional impairment is significantly increased.

The great Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born on 7 November 1888, a day like today, and was awarded the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Among other things, the Raman effect is used to analyse different types of material.
