Declarations

:

: The local Ethical Committee of MINAR Cancer Hospital (Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission) convened its meeting in the office of the convener and reviewed the application of Mr. Munir Akhtar, regarding the submission of publication. As a result of detailed discussion and review, an article entitled “Harnessing Optics and Statistics for Early Detection and Prognosis in Breast and Ovarian Cancer” is hereby approved from an ethical point of view. The authors confirmed that: Reports of patients will not be disclosed outside the department.

: Polarized light properties are used to extract structural and optical biomarkers from biological tissues, enabling label-free, high-contrast, and non-invasive diagnosis through polarization-based contrast mechanisms. The method enhances contrast and sensitivity beyond traditional imaging techniques, offering new potential for early disease detection and tissue differentiation.

: The study had a small sample size and was retrospective. A limited number of hematological and biochemical parameters are analyzed, resulting in an incomplete understanding of the correlation interpretation. Further investigation is required for tumor markers and clinical characteristics, and they should be utilized in risk stratification of cancer patients. Investigating tumor markers across a substantial number of cases will undoubtedly yield more accurate information in our future work.
