Scanning point terahertz source microscopy of unstained comedo ductal carcinoma in situ

Abstract

Terahertz imaging is an emerging candidate to diagnose breast cancers in a labelfree manner. However, detailed terahertz analysis of early stage breast cancers is difficult to achieve owing to its low spatial resolution. In this study, utilizing a probe-less terahertz near-field microscope named scanning point terahertz source microscope, we visualize an unstained comedo ductal-carcinoma-in-situ including an architectural structure (comedo necrosis) measuring ∼ϕ500 μm, which is known as highly-malignant early-stage breast cancer, in terahertz images for the first time. The outcome is a critical step toward the label-free diagnosis of single early stage cancer lesions with terahertz waves.
