“…The analysis of PLs in cancer cells, tissues, and biofluids is a novel approach and displays growing interest to develop candidate biomarkers of various cancers. Alterations in PL profiles have been associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment (Wenk, 2005;Hammad et al, 2009;Thomas et al, 2010) and specific lipids might be involved in the onset and evolution of cancer (Xiao et al, 2000;Oremek, Sapoutzis, & Lorenz, 2002;Sutphen et al, 2004;Shimma et al, 2007;Dill et al, 2009Dill et al, , 2010Dill et al, , 2011Kim et al, 2009Kim et al, , 2013Min, Kong, & Moon, 2010Jeong et al, 2011;Kang et al, 2011;Liu, Cooks, & Ouyang, 2011Park et al, 2011;Patterson et al, 2011;Doria et al, 2012;Guo et al, 2012;Ishikawa et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2012;Ide et al, 2013;Kurabe et al, 2013;Liao et al, 2013;Xu et al, 2013;Jones et al, 2014;Mirnezami et al, 2014;Patel et al, 2014). Biomarker detection and evaluation based on MS methods is so far well-established in cancer proteomics, but it also has a potential importance in cancer lipidomics.…”
