Early detection of antiangiogenic treatment responses in a mouse xenograft tumor model using quantitative perfusion MRI
Angiogenesis plays a major role in tumor growth and metastasis, with tumor perfusion regarded as a marker for angiogenesis. To evaluate antiangiogenic treatment response in vivo, we investigated arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure tumor perfusion quantitatively. Chronic and 24-h acute treatment responses to bevacizumab were assessed by ASL and dynamic-contra...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
متن کاملSimultaneous Characterization of the Tumor Vascular Permeability, Vessel Size and Density by Using First-pass Function/ Structure Mr Imaging
Introduction Angiogenesis, the formation and development of new vascular network, is essential to tumor growth. Vascular network surrounding tumor tissues, however, exhibits abnormal functional and structural properties distinct from normal blood vessel. Functional abnormalities include higher permeability and altered blood flow, etc. Tumor vascular permeability can be assessed in vivo by using...
متن کاملAssessment of the antiangiogenic therapy of avastin in an animal colon cancer model with DCE-MRI and a biodegradable macromolecular contrast agent
Introduction: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a non-invasive imaging modality for tumor characterization and evaluating tumor response to anti-cancer therapies [1-2]. Current clinical MRI contrast agents are small molecular contrast agents, which have limitations for accurate and quantitative measurement of tumor vascular parameters due to their non-selective e...
متن کاملIn vivo assessment of antiangiogenic activity of SU6668 in an experimental colon carcinoma model.
PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to assess in vivo by dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) the antiangiogenic effect of SU6668, an oral, small molecule inhibitor of the angiogenic receptor tyrosine kinases vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (Flk-1/KDR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1. EXPERIMENTAL D...
