简要总结
In the case of gynecological cancers the cervical cancer is the most common type of cancer which causes more number of death cases in developing countries. Though there are immense work using different sources and imaging techniques in the national scenario, there is no instrument in the market available till date that has proven its worth and reliability in cervical cancer screening. Most of the instruments in the market are imaging which do not look into the anatomical changes of the tissues and is not reliable. The subtlety in the tissue based measurement is validated by point measurements. With the advent of technology, a very sensitive and good detector can play an important role in getting signal from as low as one LED. There have been no reports on point measurements using LED. Hence, a low cost and non-invasive method of detection of early stages of cervical malignancy can be achieved using this technique.
