Abstrakt: The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the possibilities of identifying the different types of pathological tissue identification directly through tissue mass spectrometry. Glioblastoma parts dissected during neurosurgical operation were investigated. Tumor fragments were investigated by the immunohistochemistry method and were identified as necrotic tissue with necrotized vessels, necrotic tissue with tumor stain, tumor with necrosis (tumor tissue as major), tumor, necrotized tumor (necrotic tissues as major), parts of tumor cells, boundary brain tissue, and brain tissue hyperplasia. The technique of classification of tumor tissues based on mass spectrometric profile data processing is suggested in this paper. Classifiers dividing the researched sample to the corresponding tissue type were created as a result of the processing. Classifiers of necrotic and tumor tissues are shown to yield a combined result when the tissue is heterogeneous and consists of both tumor cells and necrotic tissue.
