But traditional diagnostic techniques, like biopsies and mammograms, can require invasive procedures and lack accuracy. The non-invasive, quick, and accurate nature of machine learning (ML) and Raman spectroscopy (RS) in breast cancer diagnoses are examined in this review. Combining machine learning's capacity to analyse intricate spectrum datasets with Raman spectroscopy's ability to produce molecular fingerprints of biochemical alterations linked to cancer improves diagnostic precision. Using the PRISMA methodology, studies published from 2017 to 2024 were examined, with an emphasis on those that reported sensitivity and specificity values greater than 80%. With sensitivity and specificity frequently over 90%, the nine included studies show that Raman spectroscopy combined with machine learning methods such as support vector machines, convolutional neural networks, and linear discriminant analysis yields good diagnostic metrics. The investigation highlights Raman spectroscopy's adaptability in analysing biological material, such as tissues and serum, with prospective uses extending to intraoperative, real-time evaluations. Although encouraging, there are still issues that need to be resolved, like the requirement for common frameworks, multi-centre validation, and affordable technology. A thorough assessment of RS-ML applications is given by this study, which also offers insights into its therapeutic potential and directs future studies in breast cancer detection.

Pyroptosis is a type of programmed death that relies on the activation of cysteine-containing aspartate proteolytic enzymes (caspases) and cleavage of the gasdermin protein family members. However, the mechanism of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-mediated PDT-induced pyroptosis in colorectal cancer is not well understood. Here, we found that 5-ALA-mediated PDT can induce pyroptosis in colorectal cancer cells, characterized by the appearance of pyroptotic bubbles and the detection of the release of cellular contents and inflammatory factors. Mechanistically, PDT activates caspase-1 and cleaves gasdermin D (GSDMD), and the release of N-GSDMD triggers pyroptosis in colorectal cancer cells. In addition, inhibition of this pathway in vivo can attenuate the therapeutic effect of PDT. In summary, we investigated the role of GSDMD in PDT-mediated pyroptosis in CRC cells, and the results showed that 5-ALA-mediated PDT induces pyroptosis in colorectal cancer cells by targeting the caspase-1/GSDMD pathway.
