Advanced progress of spatial metabolomics in head and neck cancer research

This article comprehensively reviews the progress of spatial metabolomics in head and neck cancer research, encompassing insights into cancer cell metabolic reprogramming. Various mass spectrometry imaging techniques, such as secondary ion mass spectrometry, stroma-assisted laser desorption/ionization, and desorption electrospray ionization, enable in situ metabolite analysis for head and neck cancer. Finally, significant emphasis is placed on the application of presently available techniques for early diagnosis, margin assessment, and prognosis of head and neck cancer.PMID:38142528 | DOI:10.1016/j.neo.2023.100958
