Abstract
Micro-FT-IR spectroscopy was used to study breast cancer tissues and, in particular osteosarcoma tissue. By analysing the spectra, we have found characteristic bands in the infrared regions, where the main components of these signature bands are located. In the region between 1680-1660 cm-1 are found the characteristic bands of Amide I and II of proteins. The bands, which correspond to the vibrations of the phosphate groups, are found in the region near 1140-900 cm-1. These characteristic bands have been monitored as a function of the degree of cancer progression. The results have been obtained with chemometric methods, such as cluster analysis, principal component analysis and custom analysis in order to distinguish the neoplastic zones from the normal zones.
