title: Magnetic resonance as a cancer imaging biomarker.
abstract: Cancer is a diverse disease with many manifestations. Magnetic resonance (MR) has a wide range of sensitivities, and therefore has often been used to study cancer in humans in numerous different ways, most typically with MR spectroscopy and MR imaging. This article is not an exhaustive catalog of the use of MR in cancer, but will briefly highlight some of the many promising MR methods that have been developed, proposed, or used to focus on the problem of detecting and characterizing cancer, its treatments, and adverse effects.
