Abstract
Here, we present a multimodal imaging approach based on Raman spectroscopy and PSDH imaging to detect circulating tumor cells. Particularly, the ability of tumor cells to internalize glucose faster than normal cells was investigated. Deuterated-glucose was used as Raman vibrational tag since its signal is present in the “silent” zone of Raman cell spectra. Raman information were correlated with the visualization of the cell birefringence by PSDH imaging. Each technique provides different information which combination gives a molecular and morphological signature of each cell, allowing to discriminate between normal and cancer cells with a sensitivity and specificity up to 80%.
