Holographic Assessment of Lymphoma Tissue (HALT) for Global Oncology Field Applications.Low-cost, rapid and accurate detection technologies are key requisites to cope with the growing global cancer challenges.  We herein describe a Holographic Assessment of Lymphoma Tissue (HALT) system that adopts a smartphone as the basis for molecular cancer diagnostics.  Importantly, we optimized HALT to detect lymphomas in fine-needle aspirates from superficial lymph nodes, procedures that align with the minimally invasive biopsy needs of resource-constrained regions.  The HALT assay generated readouts in <1.5 h and demonstrated good agreement with standard cytology and surgical pathology.
