We investigated whether intratumoral location and biospecimen type affect the metabolic characterization of breast cancer assessed by HR-MAS MR spectroscopy. This prospective study included 87 tumor tissue samples in 31 patients with invasive breast cancer, obtained from the center and periphery of surgical specimens and preoperatively by CNB. Specimens were assessed with HR-MAS MR spectroscopy. Overall, intratumoral location and biospecimen type had limited influence on the metabolic characterization of breast cancer assessed by HR-MAS MR spectroscopy. However, some metabolites are differentially expressed and caution is recommended in clinical decision-making based solely on metabolite concentrations, especially PC and PE.
