NMR-Based Metabolomics in Gallbladder Cancer Research.

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a common form of malignancy, which has high incidence rates in the northern parts of India, South America, Japan, and in Native American populations. A few metabolomic studies have revealed changes in the composition of biofluids, tissues, and gallstones by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which may prove useful in understanding GBC. In this chapter, we focus on the use of NMR in unveiling the metabolomics of GBC.
