A
comprehensive metabolic profiling of malignant and non-malignant tumors of
neuro-endocrine system alongwith tumors present in other parts of body has
been performed using 1H HRMAS NMR spectroscopy. The contributions of small
metabolites in each kind of tumor define the mechanisms, which are critical
to cellular function of a particular tissue. This may provide a better understanding
of biochemical alterations in each tissue and thus, may open novel avenues of
therapeutic interventions for various cancers.
