[Magnetic resonance spectroscopy of breast cancer].
Conservative therapeutic concepts with initial chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer represent a challenge to non-invasive techniques for monitoring response to therapy. Experimental magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies have been able to show exemplary applications for therapy monitoring of breast cancer patients. The characteristic phosphomonoester resonances and their changes during therapy are possible clinical parameters. The additional information which can be obtained from proton and carbon spectroscopy increases the amount of detectable metabolites. On-going studies are investigating clinical applications of multinuclear spectroscopic studies in patients with breast cancer.
