Abstract

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical technique that has been extensively used to examine reprogrammed metabolism and treatment response in cancer cells and solid tumors both in vivo and ex vivo. High-resolution MRS (HR-MRS) is one of the best methods for metabolic profiling, as it is highly quantitative, robust, and reproducible. The protocols for dual-phase extraction of cancer cells and tumors and sample preparations for high-resolution 1H and 31P HR-MRS analysis are described here. Descriptions of spectra acquisition and analysis are also included in this chapter.
