The aim of the current study is to assess response to
the modulation of the choline pathway, that is known to
be involved in oncogenesis, by using specific choline
kinase and transporters inhibitors and shRNA of choline
kinase. In this work we proposed a combination of
choline spectroscopy and diffusion markers to predict
the tumor evolution after treatment. Using these
combined markers we can assess the actual inhibition of
the target in vivo and assess early tumor response non
invasively, in order to avoid drug resistance with the
ultimate goal of improving therapy individualization.
