Using ex vivo MR spectroscopy we found alterations in
the fatty acid composition of peritumoral adipose tissue
from breast cancer patients, relative to adipose tissue
from a distal location within the same breast. MR-measured
compositions of breast adipose tissues could predict
known pathological criteria for invasive breast cancers.
Our results suggest that in vivo MRS may have potential
for developing a noninvasive biomarker for invasive
breast cancers.
