Abstract
In this work, optical properties from normal and cancerous stroma pairs were measured using reflectance-based confocal microscopy. Our results show that the scattering coefficient of cancerous stroma is significantly lower than that of normal stroma, suggesting that the decreased scattering in cancerous stroma may provide a possible indicator for differentiating normal and cancerous stroma.
