In the present work, proton HR-MAS NMR spectroscopic studies of muscle non-invasive Urinary Bladder Carcinoma (UBC) tissue specimens have been performed. The detailed metabolic profile demonstrated significant presence of taurine in tissues of 27 patients suffering from superficial UBC. Same number of oher patients with benign tumors showed absence of taurine resonances in tissues. Taurine may be used as a fingerprint biomarker in conjunction with clinical and radiological findings, non-invasively in UBC.
