But cancers are solely due to mutations? Background
Cancer cell metabolism is linked to signaling and NADPH for rapid cell growth Background Thompson & Thompson 2004 J. Clin.

Breast Cancer:Therapeutic success depends on hormonal receptor status • lifetime risk of breast cancer in the U.S. ~ 12% • lifetime risk of dying from breast cancer 3% • in U.S., around 200k invasive plus 60k in-situ breast cancers. • in U.S., around 40k deaths by breast cancer annually. • cancer grades (1, 2, 3) reflect lack of cellular differentiation ; indicate progression grade2 grade3 grade1 Background In combination with surgery, endocrine therapy can treat ER+ (estrogen), PR+ (progesteron) or HER+ (Herceptin) tumors • Tumors without expression of hormone receptors (‘Triple negative’) are more likely progress to invasive states; patients have higher 5y mortality
Study Design (1) Can we identify metabolites or metabolic pathwaysthat are associated with breast cancer clinical parameters? (2) Once we have identified those metabolic aberrations, can we validate these in a fully independent study?
