A method for diagnosing a disease, such as breast cancer, in a biological sample using spectroscopic data is described. The method involves computer-implemented method that runs an algorithm. The algorithm converts spectroscopic vibrational from the sample into a profile, and scores the profile using a pair of reference profiles. Based on the score and a threshold, it can be determined whether the subject from which the sample was obtained has a disease, and, if so, to what extent. The method also allows detection of early and pre-disease states in subjects based on the detection of signal of low concentration analytes that are indicative of early or incipient disease state. The method is non-invasive, non-subjective, and highly specific and sensitive. The method affords the application of a single standard of diagnostic accuracy, independent of the local availability of expert pathologists.
