The intraoperative assessment of tumor margins of head and neck cancer is crucial for complete tumor resection and patient outcome. The current standard is to take tumor biopsies during surgery for frozen section analysis by a pathologist after H&E staining. This evaluation is time-consuming, subjective, methodologically limited. Optical methods like hyperspectral imaging (HSI) are therefore of high interest to overcome these limitations. We present an approach, that enables delineation of tumor margins with label-free HSI-based histopathological information during surgery using deep learning. We show accuracy on par with traditional intraoperative tumor margin assessment on a data set of seven patients.
