Applying Multimodal Mass Spectrometry to Image Tumors Undergoing Ferroptosis Following In Vivo Treatment with a Ferroptosis Inducer
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most common form of ovarian cancer. The poor prognosis generally associated with this disease has led to the search for improved therapies such as ferroptosis-inducing agents. Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that is dependent on iron and is characterized by lipid peroxidation. Precise mapping of lipids and iron within tumors exposed to ferroptosis-inducing agents may provide insight into processes of ferroptosis
