Abstract
Cancers of the oral cavity and lip ranks 15 cancer mortality being oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) the predominant malignant neoplasm in the head and neck region. Liquid optical biopsy using infrared absorption spectroscopy offers rapid and accurate diagnosis of several diseases, including oral cancer. Here we investigated saliva samples from patients with OSCC and healthy individuals using micro-reflectance Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. Partial least squares discriminant (PLSDA) and support vector machine (SVM) analysis were employed to mining the set of data. SVM analysis validated the PLSDA findings and presented excellent results with sensitivity of 98.6%, specificity of 97.3%, and area under ROC curve of 0.965. Interestingly we found that bands assigned to histidine, carbohydrates/polysaccharides, and content of proteins with -sheet conformation contributed to discrimination among groups. Moreover we found that specific changes in these bands could be related to OSCC staging being promising disease gravity markers.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
