endobj 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). The most accurate volume calculations were obtained using the formula V = (W(2) 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. a) Haematoxylin Eosin (H&E) staining was applied to investigate tumor morphology. 58, 264270 (2008). To compare the effectiveness of the different investigated treatment methods, statistical analysis was used. Effects of tamoxifen and melatonin on mammary gland cancer induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, respectively, in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Substituting tumor mass values which were measured on the 24th day of Phase I to the equation of the resulted curve, the corresponding tumor volume values can be evaluated (evaluated data). In addition, even though there is about a 20% difference between the low-dose treatment group for the scanner measurements, the caliper-based measurements do not show any effect for this dose. Normality was investigated with one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and homogeneity of variance (homoscedasticity) was examined with Levenes test. In the top-left graph (Figure 19. No animals were sacrificed before the experimental endpoint. To reduce the time of analysis one could e.g. & Wieder, H. Monitoring chemotherapy and radiotherapy of solid tumors.

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. Cancer Res. Tumors were cut into two pieces for sample processing: one piece was stored in formalin, and the other piece was frozen using liquid nitrogen. In addition, the root mean square, R2 values under the linear regression equations in Figure 15. symbolize the precision of the data. Res. [45] have found that the combination of low-dose cyclophosphamide and ginsenoside Rg3 therapy can be more effective than the normal administration. 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. 2022 Dec 20;3(12):100852. doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100852. Thirty-two tumors (46%) were nonspherical, as defined above; of these, 19 tumors were nonspherical in the x-y plane, 10 tumors were nonspherical in the y-z plane, and 24 tumors were nonspherical in the x-z plane. Yes In order to assess interobserver variation, each . Tumor Volume Measurement Preclinical Imaging Center, Gedeon Richter Plc., Budapest, Hungary, Affiliation 54, 401414 (1975). . 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. YH29407 with anti-PD-1 ameliorates anti-tumor effects. Below, we present the results of some sample studies in which independent companies doing pharmaceutical, biotech, and cancer research organizations made trial runs to assess the new 3D technology and compare them with their standard caliper measurements. Clinical criteria that establish when the endpoint have to be carried out: a) if tumors contributed to a gain of >20% in body weight compared to controls at the same time point; b) tumors that ulcerate, become necrotic or infected; c) any animal found unexpectedly to be moribund, cachectic, or unable to obtain food or water. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g004. Epub 2013 Jul 11. Mice in Phase III/3 control and case groups, and mice in Phase IV case1 and case2 groups received bevacizumab. Tumor growth was investigated without therapy and with antiangiogenic therapy (using bevacizumab [15]). The TM900 also stores an optical image in the measurement data base. Radiology 254, 110118 (2010). Performed the experiments: JS ZS PK DG. We compared tumor volumes estimated in vivo by BLI and FLI, to those calculated by caliper measurements and found a good correlation between these two techniques (Figure 4). McCormick, D.L., Adamowski, C.B., Fiks, A. Med. et al. Later in a study, when a tumor grows into larger masses, the shape of the tumor can differ greatly from an ellipsoid, as shown in Figure 7. and calculates an interpolated surface under the tumor boundary based on the healthy surface around the tumor (navy blue line in Figure 12.). The means of the samples are mpIV_control = 0.65, mpIV_case1 = 0.70, mpIV_case2 = 0.46. When the tumor has a symmetrical, solid closed shape (typically without treatment), volume can be evaluated accurately from caliper-measured data with the applied two-dimensional mathematical model. Lab Anim 42, 217224 (2013). Comparing ARTIDA-calculated tumor volumes to the volumes derived from the caliper/ellipsoid formula calculations and referenced to the gold standard volume determination method (with literature density values), as it is shown in Figure 2A. Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper as well. 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. Clin. 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. Similarly, Zhang et al. The caliper mean-percent-error is 10.6%, nearly twice that of the scanners mean-percent-error of 4.6%. In addition, the mice were weighed . The problems with tumor volume measurements by calipers 3.1 Tumor growth: Height is not equal to the width of the tumor . Imaging 16, 816 (2008). Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter what matters in science, free to your inbox daily. In the case of Phase I, no similar problem occurs; the two-dimensional mathematical model can handle great values as well (e.g. No, Is the Subject Area "Mouse models" applicable to this article? 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. Yes Physical activity cancer preventionmechanisms. National Library of Medicine Contributed reagents/materials/analysis tools: ZS PK LK. Usage of this formula to calculate tumor volume from length and width values resulted in much more precise approximation of the MRI-measured tumor volume than protocol-based calculation. Imaging 33, 2737 (2006). 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). In vivo measurements of tumor metabolism and growth after administration of enzastaurin using small animal FDG positron emission tomography. Open Access Healthy tissues have efficient vasculature and effective blood supply due to the balance of proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors. Tumor volume in subcutaneous mouse xenografts measured by microCT is more accurate and reproducible than determined by 18 F-FDG-microPET or external caliper. Therefore, its formula will always overestimate the tumor volume until the height equals its width, as seen in Figure 3. & Russo, I.H. Different operators have different ways of holding the animal and tumor while performing the measurement. VC refers to tumor volume values calculated through the formula VT = 0.5 L W2, and VCH refers to those through the formula VT = 0.5 L W H. VS refers to measurements taken by the scanner, and % Inc. refers to the percent increase between VS and VCH. Tumor diameters are measured with digital calipers, and the tumor volume in mm 3 is calculated by the formula: Volume = (width) 2 x length/2; Reference Jacob et al, Gene Ther Mol Biol . First way is the caliper measurement; in that case tumor diameters (width, length) are measured with digital caliper. (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. The aim of this article is therefore to explain of the tumor volume formula and the problems associated with the caliper measurements. Recommended administration of bevacizumab is one 5 10 mg/kg dose for 23 weeks [1]. Repetitive non-typhoidal Salmonella exposure is an environmental risk factor for colon cancer and tumor growth. This approach presents an alternative to calipers which, although cheap, fast, and easy to use, introduce many biases for tumor volume estimation. The tumor burden is evaluated by volume calculation using caliper measurement. Russo, J. Disclaimer. Using an extremely low dosage (as in our study), there is a high probability that these adverse effects can be minimized. 16 (2008). Fornage, B.D., Toubas, O. The other eight tumors exhibit forms that cannot be compared to a perfect ellipsoid. 47, 510 (2001). Enter your measurements into the Tumor Volume Calculator to determine the volume of the tumor. The closer the value is to 1, the more precise the data. A direct and real 3D volume of the xenograft will then be calculated. CAS We found the same result for human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) xenografts. Tumor area was determined with flood fill algorithm [31] from the slides; by knowing the volume of a voxel, tumor volume was calculated from these two values. PubMedGoogle Scholar. We found out that due to this unmeasured part, the dissected tumor volumes were about 6% larger than the scan results. and transmitted securely. 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. Several studies have investigated the effectiveness of bevacizumab therapy according to different types of cancer [3]: lung cancer [4, 5], breast cancer [68], colon cancer [9], renal cell carcinoma [10], gastric cancer [11], pancreatic cancer [12], prostate cancer [13] and melanoma [14]. In Phase IV, the caliper measurement days were the 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th, 22nd and 23rd days. The obtained data include height and topography changes. P`e+"JF^ : 4:p7]k = Jy}! When the tumors became palpable, measurements of tumor volume were performed (with calipers) once per week. The significant difference between quasi-continuous therapy (Phase III/3 case group) and tumor growth without treatment (Phase I) was proved with statistical analysis as well. One can find datasets in the last column of Table 2. Cancer 83, 621628 (1998). The tumor can be more and sometimes less visible or popped up from under the skin. Cell Rep Med. This work was supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (PTDC/DES/114122/2009 and Pest-OE/AGR/UI0772/2011 unity) and by the European Regional Development Fund (COMPETE, FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-014707/022692). Calculate the correct dose of STELFONTA once you have the volume of the tumor in cm 3, using the Dose Calculator. After sacrificing mice, tumors were removed, and their mass was measured. The majority of debate over Avastin is about breast cancer because, in 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked the approval of Avastin for breast cancer treatment in the absence of decisive therapeutic benefit; however, several clinical trials suggested that Avastin can be effective in breast cancer treatment [6, 7]. Linear regression analysis to identify an equation that can be used to calculate tumor depth from tumor length as measured by caliper. This means that continuous, low dose antiangiogenic factor (VEGF) administration is needed. Therefor it allows a direct 3D capture of the volume. Even though all the three diameters can be measured, the estimation of the volume has quite a large error. Careers. Tumor segmentation by TumorImager-2TM. % For more information about PLOS Subject Areas, click On the other hand, values given by a scanner (VS, red triangles) more closely follow the true volume of the pennies (VT, blue diamonds). In Figure 15., the linear regression equation for the best-fit line for VPleth values on the y-axis along with VC and VS values would be approximately y x, or y 1.00x + 0.00. Another approach is to utilize the scan images (Figure 14.) Oncol. Figure 7. For more information about PLOS Subject Areas, click Mice were humanely sacrificed using cervical dislocation. A two-dimensional mathematical model was created from the experimental results of BALB/c mice with KHJJ tumor line [25]: Google Scholar. Examination of tumor growth belongs not only to the basic medical research, but to the biomedical engineering field as well. If one measures the volume of a penny using calipers and uses the widely accepted formula, repeating the measurement each time another penny is added to the stack, the stack will yield the same volume each time, regardless of how many pennies are stacked. In addition, the gap between tumor volume values for caliper-based control and treatment groups is smaller than that for scanner measurements; the significant p-value was over 50 times higher when using calipers (p > 0.05) than with scanners (p < 0.001), suggesting that the caliper-based measurements are not statistically significant. Kim HB, Zeng CH, Kim Y, Jeong S, Kim SH, Kang JM, Park Y, Won DS, Kim JW, Ryu DS, Lim B, Park JH. Pathol. On Day 14, when the tumor volume reached ~500 mm 3, the mice were . After fixing in methanol, rat anti-mouse CD31 antibody (1:50, 550274 BD PHARMINGEN) was applied as primer antibody, and FITC conjugated anti-rat CD31 antibody (1:100, Jackson Immunoresearch, 712-095-150) was applied on the slides as secondary antibody. Fj^P;7? 39, 720 (1996). Kobayashy, T. et al. eCollection 2022. van Elsland DM, Duijster JW, Zhang J, Stvenin V, Zhang Y, Zha L, Xia Y, Franz E, Sun J, Mughini-Gras L, Neefjes J. Fornage, B.D., Toubas, O. You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. Tumor volumes are calculated from digital caliper raw data by using the formula:Volume (mm3) = (l x w2) / 2. Pere, M., Cerar, A. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Bulletin of the National Research Centre (2022), Lab Animal (Lab Anim) In Phase IV, approximately 2.9106 cells were injected subcutaneously into each SCID mouse. Mice were killed after 38 days. Measurements with caliper were done on the 5th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 22nd and 24th days of the experiment in Phase I; in the case of Phase III/3, they were done on the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 22nd and 23rd days. In one trial, 208 tumors were measured, and 98.94% of those tumors exhibited much smaller heights than widths. 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. (3), Another relatively new but not widely used approach to estimate tumor volume is to assume hemi-ellipsoid shape [24]. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in One of them died on the 18th day, and another one on the 23rd day. Hedrich, H.J. Pathol. Google Scholar. A quiet and modestly T2-weighted spin-echo scan was acquired at 4.7T (TE = 15 msec, TR = 1100 msec, 0.5 mm isotropic . https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g008. Our hypothesis is that the effectiveness of a lower dosage with a quasi-continuous therapy can be comparable with the protocol therapy. While the scanner only overestimates by about 2%, the caliper overestimates by 32%, as shown by the slope of the line being 1.32. calipers and Water Displacement methods Tumor mimicking objects Vol. Ergonomics 37, 217229 (1994). Tumors this large are typically beyond the maximum size allowed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees protocols (IACUC). Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies calculate an average volume based on two extreme segmentations; one including most of the border, and one excluding it. Evaluation of prostate volume by transabdominal ultrasonography with modified ellipsoid formula at different stages of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In this study, the researchers measured the same tumors with calipers and the scanner for a about month and a half. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. 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. A smaller standard deviation in a set of measurements suggests a lesser possibility of error. where v is tumor volume [mm3] and m is tumor mass [g]. 55, 74108 (2005). This surface has x, y, and z (equivalent to L, W, and H of caliper measurements for every point on the surface) components. Front Chem. There are no further patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. In the case of HT-29 adenocarcinoma, the daily treatment with one-twelfth total dose resulted in significantly smaller tumors than the protocol-based treatment (p = 0.038). Mice were humanely sacrificed using cervical dislocation. A structured light-based system for scanning subcutaneous tumors in laboratory animals. During the scan, a mouse should be held in a relaxed manner without stretching its skin to cause unwanted deformation of the tumor body. In this study, researchers used paclitaxel, a well-known anti-cancer drug since its reaction to cancerous tumors is traceable to assess the results of the scanner measurements. Open Access & trukelj, B. N-methylnitrosourea induced breast cancer in rat, the histopathology of the resulting tumours and its drawbacks as a model. 3.4. Coauthors PK and DG are employed by Gedeon Richter Ltd.

Bizberg Themes, By Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. (Fig 2). In both cases, three groups were compared in the experiments. . 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. Circular RNA circTRPS1-2 inhibits the proliferation and migration of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by reducing the production of ribosomes. Mammary tumors seemed to take on an oblate spheroid geometry. Caliper Measurement. MeSH 1.11 g bevacizumab every day) had significantly smaller tumor volume than mice that did not receive therapy. Denis, F., Paon, L. & Tranquart, F. Radiosensitivity of rat mammary tumors correlates with early vessel changes assessed by Power Doppler sonography. In this phase, three groups were created.
