Cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract remain a major contributor to overall cancer risk. This study showcases the potential of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in tissue characterisation intraoperatively during stomach and oesophageal cancer surgery. The data is normalised, and significant features are selected to improve tissue discrimination accuracy. Using a sterilisable reflection fibre probe, we achieved remarkable sensitivities: 88.11% and 97.09% for the stomach, and 88.35% and 95.05% for the oesophagus. The noteworthy outcomes of this research study have the potential to revolutionise surgical decision-making and accuracy, pushing the boundaries of technological integration in clinical practice.
