鼻咽癌是东南亚地区及中国南方地区高发的恶性肿瘤, 具有独特的地理、 种族分布特点, 并且存在恶性程度高、 预后差、 早期诊断困难等问题。 拉曼光谱技术是基于非弹性光散射基本原理的一种快速且无损的检测方法, 能够在分子振动水平上提供生化成分等信息。 综述基于拉曼光谱技术的鼻咽癌组织研究最新进展。 主要介绍了国内外小组采用拉曼光谱及表面增强拉曼光谱（SERS）进行鼻咽癌组织检测研究的概况, 其中重点介绍该研究小组近期在鼻咽癌组织的高波数拉曼光谱、 鼻咽癌组织涂片的拉曼光谱, 以及研发的人活体鼻咽癌组织内镜检测装置及其临床实验情况。 最后, 对鼻咽癌组织拉曼光谱研究的发展前景进行了展望。

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a unique malignant tumor that has a distinct geographic and racial distribution, with a high incidence in southeast Asia and southern China. High degree of malignancy, poor prognosis and difficulty in early diagnosis remain a problem in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Raman spectroscopy technique based on inelastic scattering is a rapid and nonivasive detection method, which is capable of providing the information of biochemical components at molecular vibration level.This article reviewed the recent research progress of nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on Raman spectroscopy. It mainly introduces the study of detecting nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue by using Raman spectroscopy as well as surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS). The emphasis is put on the latest works by our research group, including high wavenumber Raman spectroscopy of tissue, Raman spectroscopy of tissue smears, and a specially designed endoscopic device combined with Raman spectroscopy for in vivo nasopharyngeal cancerous tissue detection, which was firstly developed by our group. Finally, the prospects of the development of Raman spectroscopy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma were discussed.
