Abstract:

Metabolomics is one of the branches of systems biology, which employs nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry technologies to detect the abnormal metabolites from a variety of body fluids. Study of various molecules and their functions may help to find the disease-related early metabolic marker clusters, understand the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis, which provides broad prospects for the early diagnosis and individualized treatment of malignant tumors.

Key words: metabolomics, malignant tumor, early diagnosis, biomaker, individualized , treatment
