Background & Aims: Biliary tract cancer is highly lethal at presentation, with increasing mortality worldwide. Current diagnostic measures employing multiple criteria such as imaging, cytology, and serum tumor markers are not satisfactory, and a new diagnostic tool is needed. Because bile is a cognate metabolite-rich bio-fluid in the biliary ductal system, we tested a new metabolomic approach to develop an effective diagnostic tool.Methods: Biles were collected prospectively from patients with cancer (n = 17) or benign biliary tract diseases (n = 21) with percutaneous OF endoscopic methods. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) of these biles were analyzed using orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA).Results: The metabolomic 2-D score plot showed good separation between cancer and benign groups. The contributing NMR signals were analyzed using a statistical TOCSY approach. The diagnostic performance assessed by leave-one-out analysis exhibited 88% sensitivity and 81% specificity, better than the conventional markers (CEA, CA19-9, and bile cytology).Conclusion:The NMR-based metabolomics approach provides good performance in discriminating cancer and benign biliary duct diseases. The excellent predictability of the method suggests that it can, at least, augment the Currently available diagnostic approaches. (C) 2009 European Association for the Study of the Liver.
