Status quo and prospect of metabolomics in diagnosis of thyroid cancer / 中华地方病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Metabolomics is a study for comprehensive and systematic description of all small metabolites in biological samples. Metabolomics has obvious advantages in the diagnosis of diseases through the changes of internal and external environment of endogenous metabolites. Metabolomics provides the informative clue for diagnosing malignant tumor. In recent years, studies on thyroid cancer metabolomics have found that small molecular metabolites play a guiding role in diagnosis of the disease. In this paper, the application of metabolomics in diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma will be reviewed.
