Serum lipidome screening in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: The ability of early lung cancer diagnosis is an unmet need in clinical practice. Lung cancer metabolomic analyses conducted so far have demonstrated several abnormalities in cancer lipid profile providing a rationale for further study of blood lipidome of the patients. In the present research, we performed a targeted lipidome screening to select molecules that show promise for early lung cancer detection. The study was conducted on serum samples collected from newly diagnosed, stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and non-cancer controls. A high-throughput mass spectrometry-based platform with confirmed interlaboratory reproducibility was used. The analyzed profile consisted of acylcarnitines, sphingomyelins, phosphatidylcholines and lysophosphatidylcholines. Among the assay
