The method for lung cancer detection by optical analysis of body fluids
relates to analyzing samples of blood, urine and sputum by fluorescence
spectroscopy in order to detect the presence of naturally occurring
molecules in the fluids that serve as biomarkers indicative of cancer in
the human body. The analysis can be carried out based on fluorescence
emission spectra, fluorescence excitation spectra and synchronous
(emission and excitation) spectra of bio-samples. The early detection and
diagnosis of lung cancer may be made by comparison of ratios of
fluorescence emissions and/or excitation intensities of tryptophan,
tyrosine, elastin, collagen, bile pigments, NADPH, flavins and various
species of porphyrins.
