Synopsis
We reported the ability of PRESS to detect cystathionine in vivo in patients with glioma and the effect of the omission of cystathionine on the quantification of the full neurochemical profile. We showed that the omission of cystathionine from analysis leads to severe biases on the quantification of other metabolites involved in cancer metabolism, e.g., aspartate, betaine, citrate, GABA and serine. Because cystathionine was shown to accumulate preferentially in gliomas with 1p/19q codeletion, omission of this metabolite may lead to the wrong evaluation of other metabolic changes in these tumors.
