Metabolic subgroups resulting from hierarchical clustering of MR metabolic profiles from a large cohort of breast tumor biopsies were combined with data from gene expression and reverse phased protein arrays to search for any relationship between metabolic profiles and molecular subtypes. No such relationships were established, which might make it possible for a more refined division of subtypes into subclasses based on metabolic differences. Bridging information from several molecular levels in the same tumor may improve our knowledge about various classes of breast cancer that may contribute to personalized treatment.
