Research of cancer progression mechanisms and their impact on metabolism of tumor cells and tumor microenvironment cells is an important element in drug development for cancer target therapy. In this study, changes in tumor tissue and margin tissue lipid profiles, were associated with the following clinical and morphological characteristics: tumor size, cancer stage, multifocalite, tumor grade, number of lymph node metastasis, Nottingham prognostic index, total malignancy score, level of Ki67 protein. Lipid profiling was performed by reverse-phase chromato-mass spectrometry analysis of lipid tissue extract with lipid identification by characteristic fragments. In the lipid profile of tumor tissue 13 characteristic lipids were selected. Their levels significantly correlated with at least 5 clinical and morphological features. Eight of 13 belonged to phosphatidylcholines. In lipid profile of tumor microenviroment tissue 13 lipid features were selected. Their levels significantly correlated with at least 5 clinical and morphological features. Four of 13 belonged to oxidized lipids, 4 lipid features belonged to sphingomyelins, four of 13 belonged to phosphatidylethanolamines. The tumor microenvironment tissue lipid profile correlated with tumor size, cancer stage, tumor grade, number of axillary metastases, Nottingham prognostic index. The tumor tissue lipid profile correlated with tumor size, tumor grade, total malignant score, and number of axillary metastases.
