Abstract
Cutaneous melanoma is one of the most lethal types of skin cancer. Non-invasively distinguishing malignant melanoma from benign tumours has always been a challenge. In this paper, an OCT and co-localized Raman spectroscopic system was built and Raman spectroscopy was used to measure skin samples of suspected melanoma lesions and their surrounding healthy areas non-invasively and in vivo. The Raman spectral signal intensities of the lesions increased at 1320 cm-1 and 1650 cm-1, while the content of carotenoids decreased, compared to that of the healthy skin samples. The results of the Shapley analysis values showed that the spectral peaks at 1320 cm-1 and 1650 cm-1 had a more significant effect on the differentiation of lesions from normal skin. This result can be used to guide the diagnosis of melanoma based on Raman spectroscopy.
