About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to explore whether a Raman-based, deep learning-assisted approach can be used to develop an effective method for early pan-cancer screening. The study includes healthy individuals, patients at risk of cancer, and patients with diagnosed cancers. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Evaluating the deep-learning model's accuracy and specificity in identifying cancer-specific features in Raman spectral data and determining whether this method can accurately classify patients based on risk. * Identifying which model is more adaptable to the Raman spectrum * Providing an interpretable analysis of the model-generated diagnosis Participants are already being diagnosed and follow-up to determine the type of cancer.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
A Deep Learning Model for High-Accuracy Pan-Cancer Classification
Establish deep learning models with high specificity and sensitivity for pan-cancer classification, capable of distinguishing different pan-cancer types (Distinguish between patients in physiological conditions, precancerous lesion and malignant tumour) based on Raman spectroscopy.
Secondary outcomes
Raman Shift Characteristics for Model Decision Interpretation and Visualization
Performing interpretable analysis of the diagnosis derived from the primary outcome using Grad-CAM to visualize and illustrate the model's decision-making process.
