Purpose - This study aimed to evaluate whether MR metabolic profiling can be used for prediction of long-term survival and monitoring of treatment response in locally advanced breast cancer patients during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Methods: High resolution magic angle spinning (HR MAS) MR spectra of pre- and post-treatment biopsies from 33 patients were acquired. Tissue concentrations of choline-containing metabolites (tCho), glycine and taurine were assessed using electronic reference to access in vivo concentration (ERETIC) of the signal and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to define their potential to predict patient survival and treatment response. The metabolite profiles obtained by HR MAS spectroscopy were related to long-term survival and treatment response by genetic algorithm partial least squares discriminant analysis (GA PLS-DA).Results - Different pre-treatment MR metabolic profiles characterized by higher levels of tCho and lower levels of lactate were observed in patients with long-term survival (>= 5years, survivors) compared to patients who died of cancer recurrence (
