Abstract

Metabolomics, the newest “omics”science after genomics, thranscriptomics and proteomics, is the study of simultaneous identification and quantification of products of the biochemical reaction within an or-ganism. It has been used in the study of papillary thyroid cancer. This review presents an introduction to the con-cept and research techniques of metabolomics and the progress of application in papillary thyroid cancer.
