Core Tip	We investigated the possibility of diagnosing gastric cancer from an unstained pathological tissue using Raman spectroscopy, and the findings were compared to those obtained with conventional histopathology. We analyzed unstained gastric pathological specimens by Raman spectroscopy. The Raman scattering spectrum intensity ratios of 782 cm-1/620 cm-1, 782 cm-1/756 cm-1, 782 cm-1/1250 cm-1, and 782 ​​cm-1/1263 cm-1 in the gastric adenocarcinoma tissue were significantly higher than those in the normal stomach tissue. The results of this preliminary experiment suggest the feasibility of our spectroscopic method as a diagnostic tool for gastric cancer using unstained pathological specimens.
