https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g002. In Phase III/3, MRI-measured tumor volume values are available which can be used as reference values for caliper-measured data. Determining tumor volume is a useful and quantitative way to monitor tumor progression. For both one has to have the ease of hand and get used to manipulation of the instrument. Biol. It means that a mouse of the case group received 1.11 g bevacizumab (with 45 l 0.9% NaCl solution) every day from the 3rd day for 20 days. Int. Radiology 254, 110118 (2010). Substituting tumor mass values which were measured in Phase I into Eq 8, the corresponding tumor volume values can be evaluated (one can find numerical results in Table 2 Tumor volume MRI column; and graphical results in Fig 6). In this case, tumor volume has to be calculated in the following way: 105, 2023 (1983). Predicting tumor volume in radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with prostate cancer. We found out that due to this unmeasured part, the dissected tumor volumes were about 6% larger than the scan results. The other way to measure tumor volume is the usage of small animal MRI, a non-invasive in vivo technology giving the possibility of a more precise volume measurement [29]. Verma, R. et al. On the bottom left graph in Fig. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. Yes No animals were sacrificed before the experimental endpoint. The results of the three investigated cases using C38 mouse colon adenocarcinoma (Phase I, Phase III/3 control group, and Phase III/3 case group) were compared using tumor volume values from MRI measurements (Phase III/3 control and case groups, 23rd day) and evaluated data (Phase I MRI tumor volume calculated from linear curve fit, 24th day).

Inhibiting the glycerophosphodiesterase EDI3 in ER-HER2+ breast cancer cells resistant to HER2-targeted therapy reduces viability and tumour growth. The figure shows the results of a mouse (C4) from control group (first row), and a mouse (E9) from case group (second row). 60, 21012103 (2000). Phase I and Phase III/3 control groups are not significantly different (p = 0.572), while Phase I and Phase III/3 control groups are significantly different (p = 0.002). This process slightly stretches the body and deforms the tumor. Figure 6. depicts three components used to measure the volume of a tumor: its length, represented by blue arrows, its width by green, and its height by yellow. The effectiveness strongly depends on the administration, and a drug which is effective on a molecular level can be applied in a less effective way because of the incorrectly chosen administration. Using a caliper, growth of the tumor in height is not measured as only width and length changes will affect the calculated volume. A diagram of an ellipsoid, with the derivations of the variables needed to calculate its volume. However, it has to be taken into consideration that in several cases using antiangiogenic therapy, tumor shape is irregular (berry-shaped). As is the case with caliper measurements, if the tumor appears visibly flattened and is hard to see by eye then the mouse should be repositioned. Sport. Although there are studies which confirme that bevacizumab is as effective as the murine anti-VEGF-R2 antibody (DC101) in mouse models ([27, 28]), we extended our experiments and performed Phase IV, where immunocompromized (SCID) mice were used with human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) xenografts. In this way, the targeted therapy can be used in a much more individualized form. contracts here. To obtain In a study done in England, the researchers at the end of their experiment, dissected tumors and measured their weight with a precise balance, and used these weight values of the tumors to compare results of the caliper and the scanner measurements. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g008. {(Q~J9}=ow[5nkW"C; >tDve+7K,}g?A From the abovementioned methods, the consequence is that the promising new direction in tumor volume evaluation is the dimension reduction, namely to find a statistical constant which can replace the need of measuring the tumor height. In the case of Phase I, no similar problem occurs; the two-dimensional mathematical model can handle great values as well (e.g. First of all, our hypothesis according to the importance of administration is proved. In the top-left graph (Figure 19. Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer. Fornage, B.D., Toubas, O. Generally, to make caliper measurements, the measurer first traps the tail of the mouse under her fingers, then, grabs the neck of the mouse, and aligns the mouse in her hand in a way to expose the tumor for length and width measurements. In the first four measurement times 30 slices were done from each mouse; in the last two measurement times 40 slices were done from each mouse due to the larger tumor volume. In the control group, one mouse died on the 20th day due to tumor toxicity. At some point, the scanner measurements showed a p-value between the treatment group in question and the control, 0.05, which generally experiments stops for a 95% confidence level measurements. 19, 6170 (1989). Considering the possibility of precise tumor volume determination and the effective quasi-continuous drug administration, it opens a new treatment choice based on closed-loop control. where v is tumor volume [mm3] and m is tumor mass [g]. Studies using other methods of imaging have exposed the problems that calipers pose. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Ultrasound Med. Therefor it allows a direct 3D capture of the volume. Med. Figure 17. PMC Tumor cells form and expand subcutaneously in the cavity they are injected, into between the layers of the skin. A survey of recent literature revealed the use of 19 different formulas for determining the size of subcutaneous tumors grown as xenografts in nude mice (2 for determining tumor area, 3 for tumor diameter, and 14 for calculating tumor volume). Faustino-Rocha AI, Gama A, Oliveira PA, Alvarado A, Fidalgo-Gonalves L, Ferreira R, Ginja M. Faustino-Rocha AI, Silva A, Gabriel J, Teixeira-Guedes CI, Lopes C, Gil da Costa R, Gama A, Ferreira R, Oliveira PA, Ginja M. Biomed Pharmacother. A smaller standard deviation in a set of measurements suggests a lesser possibility of error. Catheter was placed in the tail vein for injectionaccording to the mouse tail vein injection protocol [30]to investigate drug effect. Table 1 shows the results for tumor volume measure- ments on seven A431 tumors, indicating next to both gold standard volumes (V w , V L ) the caliper/formula derived volume V E and the ARTIDA . In order to estimate tumor volume by external caliper, the greatest longitudinal diameter (length) and the greatest transverse diameter (width) were determined while mice were scruffed and conscious. 39, 16 (1996). Modern Pathol. The C38 colorectal carcinoma line was maintained by serial subcutaneous transplantations in C57Bl/6 mice. Comparison of volume measurement results between four users. Calculate the correct dose of STELFONTA once you have the volume of the tumor in cm 3, using the Dose Calculator. Would you like email updates of new search results? No, Is the Subject Area "Colorectal cancer" applicable to this article? J. Nucl. Examination of tumor growth belongs not only to the basic medical research, but to the biomedical engineering field as well. In Phase I, Phase II and Phase III, a piece of C38 colon adenocarcinoma was transplanted subcutaneously in the recipient animal on the 1st day of the experiment (approximately 2106 cells were transplanted into each mouse). Research and Innovation Center of Obuda University, Physiological Controls Group, Obuda University, Budapest, Hungary, Affiliation Effects of different applied voltages of irreversible electroporation on prostate cancer in a mouse model. 12, 881885 (2005). Mice were killed after 38 days. For this dataset, linear curve fitting was carried out (fitted linear curve) to find the mathematical relationship between MRI-measured tumor volume and tumor mass. NCI CPTC Antibody Characterization Program. This approach presents an alternative to calipers which, although cheap, fast, and easy to use, introduce many biases for tumor volume estimation. To compare the effectiveness of the different investigated treatment methods, statistical analysis was used. Tumor volumes ranged from 0.5 cc to 187.9 cc, with a median of 21.8 cc. A study[4] (Figure 5.) Then we calculated the Coefficient of Variance between such measurements for both measurements to compare average inter-operator differences. Med. Finding the mathematical relationship between MRI-measured tumor volume and tumor mass creates the possibility to estimate tumor volume from caliper-measured data. Yes In the light of the above mentioned, linear curve fitting was carried out to find the mathematical relationship between MRI-measured tumor volume and tumor mass (Phase III/3 case and control groups). Objectives: Volume measurement of subcutaneous xenograft tumors in nude mice models is an important metric to assess tumor growth or response to therapy. and calculates an interpolated surface under the tumor boundary based on the healthy surface around the tumor (navy blue line in Figure 12.). Even though, now, the formula is calculated in an Excel spreadsheet where can be defined as a function, pi(), almost in all cases, in the volume formula is defined as 3.0. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution. Fornage, B.D., Toubas, O. The scanner-based measurements yield a higher correlation in this sense than caliper-based measurements. The advantage of this model is that there is no need to approximate tumor height (which could result in error). Clin. https://doi.org/10.1038/laban.254. A graph depicting tumor volume in mm3, as measured by a caliper compared to its actual volume, vs. days. In Phase I, mice were sacrificed when the tumor reached a lethal size; it was on the 24th day of the experiment. Tumor volume was calculated by the modified ellipsoidal formula: V = (Length Width 2) . Role of real-time sonography in assessment of breast diseases: a review of 200 cases (Abstr). Notice that in the caliper group, the average standard deviation is larger than that of the group whose tumors were measured by Biopticons TumorImager scanner. Therefore, optical imaging is . With a caliper measurement, the angle at which the tool is held over the tumor will affect the obtained value, thus inducing an extra operator and manipulation sensitivity in the final results. In several recent studies ([21, 22]), tumor volume is calculated assuming ellipsoid shape: & trukelj, B. N-methylnitrosourea induced breast cancer in rat, the histopathology of the resulting tumours and its drawbacks as a model. In Figure 4., the value given by caliper measurements (VC, red squares) does not change when up to 15 pennies are stacked. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g005, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.t002, To find the f constant for tumor growth without therapy (Phase I), first reliable tumor volume values had to be found, since there was no MRI measurement in Phase I. Beside tumor diameters, tumor mass was measured and vascularization area was calculated in the case of the removed tumors. Tumours of the mammary gland. PubMedGoogle Scholar. Clinical aspects which have to be considered to determine when animals should be euthanized are body weight, physical appearance, measurable clinical signs, unprovoked behavior and response to external stimuli. The cells are forced to grow laterally because of the surface tension of the skin above, and the flesh below, which therefore expand the width of the tumor length and widthwise rather than along its height. Applying the two-dimensional mathematical model (described in Eq 5) the goal is to find the f constant which belongs to the C38 colon adenocarcinoma and the treatment type. The R2 value for the scanner is 0.99, as opposed to that for the caliper being 0.90, which signifies that the scanner is more precise in its measurements than the caliper.

Pathol. Yes In Phase IV, approximately 2.9106 cells were injected subcutaneously into each SCID mouse. Result of Phase III/2 was that the effectiveness of the small amount of quasi-continuous dosage is comparable with the effectiveness of one large dose [23], however this result is only based on caliper-measured data. The width of a fully formed tumor will be much larger than its height. The tumor dimensions are L, W, and H. The volume of an ellipsoid VE, using the variables as shown in Figure 1., is. The shape of the tumor, more often than not, is not an ellipsoid. The athymic (nude) mouse is a useful model for studying the biology and response to therapies of human tumors in vivo. Designed by In addition, the root mean square, R2 values under the linear regression equations in Figure 15. symbolize the precision of the data. One of them died on the 18th day, and another one on the 23rd day. Mrio Ginja. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted mum tumor volume of 0.6 mL was reached. The closer the slope of a line on this graph is to 1 and the y-intercept to 0, the closer the measurements of the device it represents are to the exact values of the tumors volumes. Figure 14. Healthy tissues have efficient vasculature and effective blood supply due to the balance of proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors. In vivo measurements of tumor metabolism and growth after administration of enzastaurin using small animal FDG positron emission tomography. Because tumor volume measurements used by researchers and industries are sensitive and often rely on the accuracy, the cutting-edge TumorImagerTM line of scanners is the ideal, most reliable choice for taking such sensitive measurements. Pathol. This means that the daily treatment with one-twelfth total dose resulted in significantly smaller tumors than the protocol-based treatment. Figure 18. shows the results of an experiment in which mice were given different doses of a drug and their tumors were measured both with a caliper or TumorImager scanner. In the concept of model-based treatment, a continuous and precise tumor volume monitoring is needed concerning which, may be possible in the near future by nanotechnology [38]. This paper reviews the standard technique for tumour volume assessment, calliper measurements, by conducting a statistical review of a large dataset consisting of 2,500 tumour volume measurements from 1,600 mice by multiple operators across 6 mouse strains and 20 tumour models.

Ultrasonography as the Gold Standard for In Vivo Volumetric Determination of Chemically-induced Mammary Tumors. Our hypothesis is that the effectiveness of a lower dosage with a quasi-continuous therapy can be comparable with the protocol therapy. Davis, P.L. Tumours of the rat. Autopsy revealed large metastasis in the lung, this is the suspected cause of the death. 01 July 2022. This helps to calculate accurate tumor volume from caliper measured data which will be useful for further animal experiments and as a consequence no small MRI measurements will be needed. Under these conditions, the formula for the volume of a tumor becomes. PASW Statistics 18 (SPSS Statistics, IBM, USA) and Matlab R2009b (MathWorks, USA) were used for statistical analysis. Intrinsic susceptibility MR imaging of chemically induced rat mammary tumors: relationship to histologic assessment of hypoxia and fibrosis. CAS In this study, the researchers measured the same tumors with calipers and the scanner for a about month and a half. Autopsy revealed only minimal local tumor; however death was not caused by tumor. Scientific Reports Forbes, D., Blom, H., Kostomitsopoulos, N., Moore, G. & Perretta, G. Euroguide: On the Accommodation and Care of Animals Used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes (Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations, London, 2007). HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help Article Bevacizumab (Avastin) [1] is an exogenous inhibitor, which inhibits the biological activity of human VEGF [2]. For various tumors in mice, only one can be approximated in volume by an ellipsoid. Bevacizumab is an exogenous inhibitor which inhibits the biological activity of human VEGF. Levenes test showed that the sample variances are equal (p = 0.108). Since 2004, the target therapy of bevacizumab (Avastin) is widely used to treat colorectal [9], kidney [10], cervical [34], ovarian [35], non-small cell lung cancers [5], melanoma [14] and certain brain tumors (e.g. The TumorImagerTM line of scanners by Biopticon Corporation fixes these problems by keeping the animals relaxed during measuring and yielding measurements closer to actual values than caliper-based measurements. & Hafstrm, L. Estimation of liver tumor volume using different formulasan experimental study in rats. In Phase III/3, case group members received one-tenth dose of control dose intraperitoneally spread over 18 days. In order to understand inter-operator differences between operators making both caliper and scanner measurements, we conducted experiments in which multiple numbers of operators measured several tumors both with caliper and scanner. Investigating the results of Phase III/3 one can observe that the two-dimensional mathematical model has good estimation property when the tumor width and length values are small; however, for large tumor diameter values the estimation could result in significant error, the estimated value is greater than the measured one (outliers are E8, C2). Open Access For the most precise result, tumor mass values, which were measured at the end of the experiment, were compared in the statistical analysis. Eur. Pursuant to one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, each sample has normal distribution (ppIV_control = 0.981, ppIV_case1 = 0.998, ppIV_case2 = 0.854). 2009, 18 (2009). Normality was investigated with one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test; each sample has normal distribution (ppI = 0.883, ppIII/3_case = 0.716, ppIII/3_control = 0.869). Enter your measurements into the Tumor Volume Calculator to determine the volume of the tumor. broad scope, and wide readership a perfect fit for your research every time. To evaluate tumor volume, first the shape of the tumor has to be assumed, and if it is necessary for volume calculation, the third diameter (height, h) has to be approximated. Monitoring tumor volume through a direct 3D measurement will include changes in all three directions, height, width and length thus resulting in more accurate realistic data. For small tumors, the error is about 7%, while for large tumors it is 27%.[3]. The first column shows the tumor values which were calculated using the two-dimensional mathematical model; the second column represents the protocol-based tumor volumes. Google Scholar. No, Is the Subject Area "Magnetic resonance imaging" applicable to this article? Figure 1. This means that mice which were treated with the recommended bevacizumab protocol (one 200 g bevacizumab dose for an 18-day therapy) did not have significantly smaller tumor volume than mice which did not receive therapy at all. Tumor measurement by TumorImager-2TM. Thus, caliper-based measurements, using the formula , are most accurate in real life for tumors in which height roughly equals width but prove less accurate as height becomes more unequal to width, as is the case with almost all real tumors. Mammary tumors seemed to take on an oblate spheroid geometry. & Bullock, G.) 253257 (Elsevier Academic, Boston, 2004). Cancer 60, 765771 (1987). Get the most important science stories of the day, free in your inbox. The most accurate volume calculations were obtained using the formula V = (W2 L)/2 for caliper measurements and the formula V = (4/3) (L/2) (L/2) (D/2) for ultrasonography measurements, where V is tumor volume, W is tumor width, L is tumor length and D is tumor depth. Tumor Volume Measurement Imaging 16, 816 (2008). All surgery and sacrifice were performed under sodium pentobarbital anaesthesia (Nembutal, 70 mg/kg), and all efforts were made to minimize suffering. However mice which were treated with a quasi-continuous therapy (one-tenth dose of control dose spread over 18 days, i.e. N-nitrosomethylurea as mammary gland carcinogen in rats. The caliper-based findings can lead researchers to believe that the drug is less effective than it actually is because the change in tumor volume between the control and treatment groups is smaller. In our study, we applied a two-dimensional mathematical model and determined the corresponding tumor- and therapy-specific constants in the three investigated cases (C38 colon adenocarcinoma growth without therapy, C38 colon adenocarcinoma growth with protocol-based bevacizumab therapy and C38 colon adenocarcinoma growth with quasi-continuous bevacizumab therapy). Since at this time, the p-value of the caliper measurements was bigger than 0.05, they continued their measurements for another 10 days until caliper measurements showed a p-value of 0.0484 as shown in Figure 17. This effect is illustrated in the included video. According to the Xenograft tumor model protocol [20], tumor volume has to be calculated using the following formula: Breast Cancer Res. In clinical practice, the determination of the tumor size (volume) is done by MRI and/or CT, but this is for the purpose of validating the effectiveness of the treatment, and therefore it is not a continuous monitoring. Tumor was located in the last third of the back of the mouse in every case. 41, 16901694 (1981). There are no further patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. 2 0 obj here. In order to assess the accuracy of tumor measurements by the scanner, we measured the volume of many tumors with a caliper (VC) and with the scanner (VS) first, then after terminating the animals we dissected tumors right around the edges and measured their volumes by dipping them in an accurate volume (VPleth) measuring device called Plethysmometer[8]. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g007. Mammary tumors seemed to take on an oblate spheroid geometry. Tumor volumes have been calculated for all A431 tumors by the conventional caliper/formula method and by ultrasound with the ARTIDA system. 2. Accurately measure the tumor (in cm) using a caliper. Mice in Phase III/3 control and case groups, and mice in Phase IV case1 and case2 groups received bevacizumab. This formula was the starting point of our examination to find an appropriate mathematical model. . The reason for choosing this type of administration was as follows: a) we wanted to use a daily dose in order to investigate the biological effect of frequent impulse-like control signal for the future controller design; b) we wanted to examine such a low dose which has practically no side-effect but presumably is still effective. & Moon, R.C. In this phase, 5 immunocompetent mice in control group, and 9 immunocompetent mice in case group were used. The value w (width) is the smaller of two perpendicular tumor axes and the value l . a) Haematoxylin Eosin (H&E) staining was applied to investigate tumor morphology. Cell Rep Med. Results from an experiment that measures tumor volume and varies drug dose and measuring methods. Bookshelf This results in the loss of information about its real growth.. With constant width and length, the measured volume does not change with the tumor shape. J.

YH29407 with anti-PD-1 ameliorates anti-tumor effects. (2), Whilst studies have shown that tumors can be better estimated with ellipsoid shape than using Eq 1, calculating the volume of an ellipsoid requires the knowledge of the third parameter. (9). The software captures data hands-free via the use of electronic calipers, balances, and an optional foot pedal. Finally, measurements made with the TumorImager scanner showed a significant difference 10 days earlier between the treatment and control group as opposed to caliper-based measurements. Figure 12. ISSN 0093-7355 (print). Animals were carried out in the most humane and environmentally sensitive manner possible; in addition the 3Rs principle (replacement, refinement, reduction) was adequately implemented according to the Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament. Performed the experiments: JS ZS PK DG. Tumors this large are typically beyond the maximum size allowed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees protocols (IACUC). A direct 3d measurement tool such as the TM900 does not induce such method sensitivity but cannot exclude operator dependency of the obtained values. 55, 11761180 (1995). The .gov means its official. Evaluated the accuracy of common four formulas given in the literature to estimate xenograft tumor volumes based on manual caliper measurements and proposed formula (0,45 L*W*H) could estimate tumor volumes as good as prolate ellipsoid formula. Finally, it finds the volume between these two surfaces and sets this to be the volume of the tumor (shaded red region in Figure 11, red region in Figure 14 below). Eichelerger, L.E. PMID: 11208850.
