Magnetic resonance in surgical oncology: II - literature review

Laurence Gluch. ANZ J Surg. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

Ex vivo and in vivo applications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy have been developed which aid in distinguishing malignant from normal tissues. Studies of breast, colon, cervix, oesophageal and prostate cancer reveal both the successes and failings of present technology. Verification that these non-invasive tests might supplant conventional histology in obtaining spatial diagnostic and chemical prognostic information remains for the time being illusive.
