Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop an imaging platform for intraoperative tumor margin delineation in 250 cases of tumor-suffered patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• to develop the protocol of rapid assessment of surgical specimens without need for fixation, embedding, and cryosectioning required for conventional histopathology.

Participants will provide a small piece of their surgical specimens from tumor removal surgery .

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare normal specimens to see if we can observe the difference.
