Mass spectrometry for brain tumor diagnosis [Medical Sciences]

The main goal of brain tumor surgery is to maximize tumor resection while preserving brain function. However, existing imaging and surgical techniques do not offer the molecular information needed to delineate tumor boundaries. We have developed a system to rapidly analyze and classify brain tumors based on lipid information acquired... (Source: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) View Source
