Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer death and the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in men worldwide. Previous observations show that PCa metabolic information can delocalize from PCa glands and into histologically-benign tissue creating field effects resulting in metabolomic lesions that are larger than histology lesions. In this study, we evaluate these effects with location defined prostate biopsy samples from patients suspected of harboring PCa using high-resolution magic angle spinning MR spectroscopy at 14.1T with constructions of training and testing cohorts created through quantitative histopathology of the biopsy cores.
