Cancer which has metastasized creates an issue in the medical field because the life expectancy of the patient doesn’t improve until the origin, type, and stage of metastatic cancer is determined. We present a system which uses Raman microspectroscopy to scan cancer cell cultures and determine the type of cancer present. A machine learning algorithm has been trained to distinguish between four cancer cell types. Known mixtures of cancer cells are mapped on a Raman hyperspectral image which displays where each cancer type is located.
