<p class="seamTextPara"> Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 diagnostic techniques based on their cancer status: </p> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Group 1: Scheduled for Surgery</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Optical spectroscopy for 5-10 minutes during the scheduled procedure </li> </ul> <p class="seamTextPara"> <i class="seamTextEmphasis">Group 2: Scheduled for Biopsy</i> </p> <ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Optical spectroscopy will be used on the tissue removed during the biopsy, and will require no additional time</li></ul>

<ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Optical spectroscopy uses special instruments and a low power light to identify cancerous cells in body tissue. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">It currently is used to detect a number of different types of cancer. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">To be eligible, individuals must be scheduled to have a mastectomy or lumpectomy, or be scheduled to have a biopsy because their mammogram suggests they have a high likelihood of having breast cancer.</li> </ul>
