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
Overall, the ability of multimodal MSI to identify the spatial locations of iron and lipids in the same tissue section and associate these regions with clinical pathology is demonstrated.
