In cancer diagnosis and therapeutic management, novel molecular factors are continually being sought that can predict patient stratification and response. These studies are performed primarily on human tissues with the objective of acquiring basic information on human disease processes toward clinical use. This type of laboratory research, with the goal of moving the acquired information rapidly toward clinical application, is regarded as translational research.An early definition of translational research was the ability to move acquired knowledge in either direction between laboratory bench and clinical application (1). However, the tools of laboratory research and clinical application have typically been in separate categories, especially regarding applicability to human beings and human tissues. If one focuses only on mass spectrometry research tools, a main problem would be that the approaches using mass spectrometry are typically time consuming and require substantial expertise to acquire and apply data information for clinical use. Movement of mass spectrometry in the clinical laboratory has typically been one way, moving from bench to clinical application over years. Truly translational mass spectrometry tools are needed that can report information just as easily in the clinical setting as in the basic laboratory research setting. One mass spectrometry tool showing great promise in moving data between clinic and research laboratory and back again is the iKnife (2). In a recent article in Cell, Koundouros et al.(3) took a unique approach using the iKnife, a tool already in the surgical theater, for basic laboratory research. The iKnife combines electrosurgical dissection with rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry to assess intraoperative tumor margins and signatures from biopsies in near real time (1–2 s)(2). The plume emitted by electrosurgical dissection is directly analyzed by mass spectrometry and compared with spectral libraries that contain
