Mucus was tested as a potential biological material for screening/early diagnosis of colorectal cancer using infrared spectroscopy. Based on a digital histopathology and statistical modeling approach, cancerous and non-cancerous samples were classified with an area under the curve performance of 95% based on mucus spectral profiles, indicating changes in the glycan component of mucins.
