Abstract: Metabolomics for biological metabolite changes was widely accepted,the study of metabolomics is becoming a powerful tool for disease diagnosis and disease mechanism in recent years.In this paper,we review the recent applications of metabonomics study in the diagnosis of malignant tumor.Literatures about the study of metabonomics in the diagnosis of malignant tumor were summarized according to the classification of tumors.In recent years,metabolomics is widely used in cancer diagnosis,mainly in gastric cancer,liver cancer,lung cancer,esophageal cancer,breast cancer,ovarian cancer,prostate cancer,et al.Metabolomics play important role in the aspects of cancer pathogenesis,early diagnosis,differential diagnosis,staging and prognosis.With the development of analysis techniques,metabolomics will become an important method in the research of malignant tumor.

Key words: metabolomics, cancer, diagnosis, review
