ClariCore™ Biopsy System in Patients Undergoing Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy

The overall objective of this study is to acquire and analyze spectral data and correlative tissue biopsy cores using the ClariCore System for the purpose of algorithm development. The system algorithm will be trained to identify real-time in vivo 'Normal' versus 'Suspicious' prostate tissue. The 'Normal' or 'Suspicious' assignment will be based on the optical signal principle component parameters of the measured signal when compared to a threshold to be derived from pathologically known values of suspicious (or possibly cancerous) and normal (or non-cancerous) measurements in prostate tissue.
