Prostate
Tumor Chemistry Reveals Early Disease
Scientists would like to find a better way of identifying those prostate tumors
most likely to cause disease. A study led by Leo Cheng suggests these cancers
could be profiled sooner and more accurately by their chemistry. His team used
magnetic resonance spectroscopy to characterize all the compounds involved in
prostate tumor metabolism. The method sorted out cancerous from benign tissue
with 98 percent accuracy and indicated tumor size and aggressiveness, even when
samples came from benign tissue elsewhere in the prostate.
