Raman spectroscopy has the potential to provide real‐time, in situ diagnosis of breast cancer during needle biopsy or surgery via an optical fiber probe. Understanding the chemical/morphological basis of the Raman spectrum of breast tissue is a necessary step in developing Raman spectroscopy as a to...
