In recent years, light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has emerged as a powerful tool for visualizing and analyzing cancer tissue samples, including patient-derived specimens, organoids, biopsies, and murine models. In this work, we highlight the current applications of deep tissue LSFM in oncology and illustrate its use across a variety of human cancer tissues, including - but not limited to - prostate and breast. Here, we discuss that the potential integration of advanced LSFM technologies into clinical workflows to enable high-throughput, three-dimensional imaging of intact cancer specimens. This approach holds significant potential to enhance diagnostic precision and provide novel insights into tumour architecture and morphology.
