Data will be presented from cohorts of pancreatic, colon and brain tumors patients. Analysis of these biomarkers is performed using a pattern-driven approach, and as such analytical techniques which are both quantitative and high-throughput are favoured. The outcome is information with respect to a ‘biopattern’ of disease without the requirement for comprehensively attempting to characterize the entire metabolome. Furthermore, the resulting multivariate data is characterized by concerted changes in multiple markers, in contrast with traditional biomarker-driven approaches that rely on single markers. Finally, several challenges in the evolution of the field will be discussed, including interpreting coherent biological meaning from a combination of both NMR and MS data, and reliable assessment of candidate markers using multivariate statistics.
