Evolving cancer pain treatments: rational approaches to improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

abstract：:Raman spectroscopy has long been used as a powerful tool for chemical composition analyses. Raman scattering light measurement has the advantage of being able to examine biomolecules in a nondestructive and non-labeling manner. However, molecular imaging of cells and tissues by using Raman microscopy had been hampered...
