Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: An Objective Technique for the Quantification of Prostate Cancer Pathologies

Abstract

In the past year, according to their proposed Statement of Work, the authors devoted their efforts to the collection of specimens from prostate cancer patients, and spectroscopic and histopathological measurements of these samples for the construction of metabolic markers aimed at tumor diagnosis based on HRMAS 1HMR evaluation. Significant progress has been achieved in these efforts. In the mean time, eight peer-reviewed publications related to the project have been either published, accepted for publication, or put under revision processes. In addition, one NIH RO1 grant has been submitted as a direct result of research activities supported by this award. These advancements will assist them in better understanding tumor metabolism as observed with magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and contribute to better patient treatments in the future.
