The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a cell analyzing apparatus and a cell analyzing method which are used for distinguishing between normal and cancer tissues.
As an apparatus of this kind, there is an apparatus in which cells that are isolated and nuclear stained are measured, and a histogram of fluorescence intensities is acquired (for example, see JP-A-2012-47594). In the apparatus, the number of cells which are distributed in an area where the fluorescence intensity is stronger than that of normal cells is obtained from the acquired histogram, and the cancer malignancy grade is determined based on the number of cells and the histogram.
In order to minimize the extent of resection in surgery for removing cancer cells, it is requested to further improve the accuracy of identification of cancer cells.
