Fig. 2: Clinical potential of lipidomic and metabolomic profiling in breast cancer.
From: Lipidomics and metabolomics as potential biomarkers for breast cancer progression

As fine-needle aspirations are commonly performed on primary breast tumors and lymph node biopsies, it represents a novel sampling method that could be used to determine the metabolic and lipidomic profile of the tissues for comparison of profiles between primary tumor and progression to lymph nodes.
