Abstract

The presence of prostate cancer cells in urine samples of cancer patients could be utilized as biomarker for early cancer detection. In this work, the UV absorption spectra of PC3 prostate cancer cells spiked in healthy urine were studied towards development of rapid, label-free, and non-invasive technology to optically detect their presence in patients' urine samples. A comparison of UV absorption spectra of PC3, MCF-7, and HeLa cells revealed that PC3 cells have distinctive peak characteristic at ∼204-206 nm with a wide shoulder in ∼260-290 nm region. Distinctive optical differences were also exhibited between PC3 cells and pelleted urinary cells.
