There are no further patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. In the case1 group, one mouse died on the 17th day. 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. Estimation of rat mammary tumor volume using caliper and ultrasonography measurements. 12, 881885 (2005). PLOS ONE promises fair, rigorous peer review, The C38 colorectal carcinoma line was maintained by serial subcutaneous transplantations in C57Bl/6 mice. https://doi.org/10.1038/laban.254. . Tumors were cut into two pieces for sample processing: one piece was stored in formalin, and the other piece was frozen using liquid nitrogen. Monaco performed the dose calculation of the VMAT treatment plans with the dose calculation grid of 3.0 mm by utilizing the Monte Carlo algorithm. 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). b) Fluorescence picture was created using CD31 antibody immunohistochemistry staining to calculate vascularization area. This process slightly stretches the body and deforms the tumor. Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer. Predicting tumor volume in radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with prostate cancer. The caliper mean-percent-error is 10.6%, nearly twice that of the scanners mean-percent-error of 4.6%. & Hafstrm, L. Estimation of liver tumor volume using different formulasan experimental study in rats. bowel, and kidneys is when the tumor is located in . @0u !7oyc5/Ck J. Urol. A study[4] (Figure 5.) In this study, the authors measured dimensions of rat mammary tumors using a caliper and using real-time . Westerlind, K.C. In Phase III/3, MRI-measured tumor volume values are available which can be used as reference values for caliper-measured data. & Weaver, D.L. and JavaScript. Exer. In the case of C38 adenocarcinoma, protocol-based treatment did not result in significantly smaller tumor volume compared to the no treatment group; however, there was a significant difference between untreated mice and mice who received quasi-continuous therapy (p = 0.002). In Phase I, Phase II and Phase III, eight weeks old male C57Bl/6 mice with implanted C38 mouse colorectal carcinoma was used. 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). Figure 2.

This means that the daily treatment with one-twelfth total dose resulted in significantly smaller tumors than the protocol-based treatment. In one trial, 208 tumors were measured, and 98.94% of those tumors exhibited much smaller heights than widths. Statistical evaluations of agreement between two methods for measuring a quantitative variable. endobj Parkin, D.M., Bray, F., Ferlay, J. Oncol. Figure 19. Tumor morphology was investigated using standard Haematoxylin Eosin staining on the samples stored in formalin. 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. Even though all the three diameters can be measured, the estimation of the volume has quite a large error. 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). Article Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper as well. To compare the effectiveness of the different investigated treatment methods, statistical analysis was used. Bevacizumab (Avastin) [1] is an exogenous inhibitor, which inhibits the biological activity of human VEGF [2]. Therefore, its formula will always overestimate the tumor volume until the height equals its width, as seen in Figure 3. CAS Open Access A possible solution for height approximation [23] is: () and were used with the parameters displayed in Table 1Parameters for Gompertz growth were taken from Benzekry et al. 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. in The Laboratory Mouse (eds. Click through the PLOS taxonomy to find articles in your field. The tumor dimensions are L, W, and H. The volume of an ellipsoid VE, using the variables as shown in Figure 1., is. Pollok, K.E. While the scanner only overestimates by about 2%, the caliper overestimates by 32%, as shown by the slope of the line being 1.32. Typical side-effects and adverse events are arterial and venous thromboembolic events, bleeding, hypertension, febrile neutropenia, infections, proteinuria, mucositis, and hand-foot syndrome. 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. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. Catheter was placed in the tail vein for injectionaccording to the mouse tail vein injection protocol [30]to investigate drug effect. Google Scholar. Average of tumor volumes for every measurement days of the experiment can be seen in Fig 8. Therefor it allows a direct 3D capture of the volume. The height and topography of the tumor is not taken into account in a caliper measurement. CAS 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). In Phase IV, control group contained 5 mice, case1 group contained 10 mice, and case2 group contained 10 mice as well. NCI CPTC Antibody Characterization Program. Biol. Coauthors PK and DG are employed by Gedeon Richter Ltd. Gedeon Richter Ltd. provided support in the form of salaries for authors PK and DG, and in the form of using the resources of Preclinical Imaging Center of Gedeon Richter Ltd., but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. et al. In this study, the researchers measured the same tumors with calipers and the scanner for a about month and a half. Pere, M., Cerar, A. and calculates an interpolated surface under the tumor boundary based on the healthy surface around the tumor (navy blue line in Figure 12.). We have found in our previous study [32] that measurements without contrast agents resulted in high quality images, where tumor can be circumscribed precisely, thus the usage of contrast is unnecessary. Similar to the results from the experiments in Figure 18., this error makes the drug seem less effective than it actually is. The volume calculation algorithm relies on the surface interpolated based on the surrounding healthy tissue. Lab Anim 42, 217224 (2013). This formula was the starting point of our examination to find an appropriate mathematical model. Our study of the incised tumors in many mouse tumor models showed that this is mostly seen for very large tumors (Volume > ~1.5 cm3) where the tumors start bulging inward toward the flesh. When tumor cells become able to produce proangiogenic factors (the process is called as angiogenic switch), it will result in abnormal and inefficient vascular network (with high vascular permeability and poor perfusion) due to the hurried process of vessel formation. The article discusses two results. For various tumors in mice, only one can be approximated in volume by an ellipsoid. Research and Innovation Center of Obuda University, Physiological Controls Group, Obuda University, Budapest, Hungary, Affiliation Fj^P;7? x|jY!==g'{oZ6-JiZ Even the same operator, with different trials or at different moments in time does not always hold the animal in exactly the same way. One can see from Table 2 that the goodness of the fit is different in the case of Phase I (tumor growth without therapy) and in the case of Phase III/3 (tumor growth with antiangiogenic therapy). Fornage, B.D., Toubas, O. This effect is illustrated in the included video. Bousquet, P.F. Yes 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. The first group did not receive therapy, the second group received one 200 g bevacizumab dose for a treatment period (protocol-based therapy), and the third group received 1.1 g bevacizumab every day (quasi-continuous therapy). Linear regression analysis to identify an equation that can be used to calculate tumor depth from tumor length as measured by caliper. These model-based protocols can be more effective than the current ones, since they provide individual treatment for the patients. To overcome all of these difficulties (continuity of the administration and side-effects), model identification should be determined and then a control algorithm (controller) can be designed for the created mathematical model. For the sake of convenience, establishments will simplify and H. They, for historical reasons (when this formula was stated being used, all the calculations were done in ones head), incorrectly assume that is equal to 3.0 and that the height of a tumor (H) is equal to its width (W). This saves money, as mice, drugs, and calipers can be costly for researchers. Quantity of the optimal solvent administration was also examined in this subphase. & Bullock, G.) 253257 (Elsevier Academic, Boston, 2004). Finding the mathematical relationship between MRI-measured tumor volume and tumor mass creates the possibility to estimate tumor volume from caliper-measured data. Open Access 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]. 37, 19 (1996). Tumor volume was measured in two different ways. 2023 Jan 12;9(1):5. doi: 10.1038/s41420-023-01300-9. Automatic randomization to perform group assignments based on body weight, tumor area/volume, delta tumor volume, or any numeric value and/or user-defined formula; In this study, the authors measured dimensions of rat mammary tumors using a caliper and using real-time compound B-mode ultrasonography. Current standard technique for volume determination of subcutaneously xenografted tumors in vivo is by external caliper where tumor volume is calculated by use of the modified ellipsoid formula 1/2(Length Width 2)[1,2]. Measure the mass by using a balance (0.01g) and compute the volume by using the constant low-dose therapy because in the case of controller-based administration, the control signal (administration dose) can vary from zero to the maximum tolerable dose according to the perceived tumor volume. Determining tumor volume is a useful and quantitative way to monitor tumor progression. 2009, 18 (2009). 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. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Comp. 1st Department of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. Performed the experiments: JS ZS PK DG. Radiology 233, 830849 (2004). Tumor growth inhibition rate (%); can be calculated using the following formula: = (Vc 1 -Vt 1 )/ (Vc 0 -Vt 0) X 100. where, Vc 1 is the mean tumor volume in the control group at the time of tumor . Front Chem. 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. One of them died on the 18th day, and another one on the 23rd day. Calculate the correct dose of STELFONTA once you have the volume of the tumor in cm 3, using the Dose Calculator. Evaluation of prostate volume by transabdominal ultrasonography with modified ellipsoid formula at different stages of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Although the low dose bevacizumab therapy is well known in the literature, we found no article (in the English literature) regarding very low dose and quasi-continuous bevacizumab therapy, as used in our study. The authors declare no competing financial interests. In Phase I, we have investigated tumor growth without therapy with two types of mouse tumor. 2015 Feb;43(2):145-70. doi: 10.1177/0192623314532036. Lab Animal Each day before the administration, the mice' body weight and tumor volume were measured and recorded. 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 caliper measurements, two values, for length and width, must be recorded for one tumor in each animal; this means that for every 100 animals studied, at least 200 measurements must be made and recorded. Disclaimer. A direct and real 3D volume of the xenograft will then be calculated. Bookshelf In Phase III/3, control group contained 5 mice, case group contained 9 mice; all mice were implanted with C38 mouse colon adenocarcinoma. 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. ISSN 0093-7355 (print). In vivo measurements of tumor metabolism and growth after administration of enzastaurin using small animal FDG positron emission tomography. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was used to compare more than two samples, while pairwise comparison was done by Tukeys honest significant difference (HSD) test. Unmeasured part of the tumor for caliper, Figure 11. (8) Bevacizumab administration was started on the 7th day in both cases. <> Folia Biol. Kobayashy, T. et al. 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. Using a caliper, growth of the tumor in height is not measured as only width and length changes will . Figure 10. A tumor image, its 3D shape and all geometrical data are automatically calculated and stored. The obtained data include height and topography changes. All rights reserved. Correspondence to Girit, I.C., Jure-Kunkel, M. & McIntyre, K.W. In the case of Phase I, no similar problem occurs; the two-dimensional mathematical model can handle great values as well (e.g. Google Scholar. Med. The data reveals that the mean volume of PTV is 60.8 53.9 cc where these targets exhibit no significant difference between each modality.

Tumor growth Tumor regression Number of Number of volume volume doublings Percentage additional halvings: Decrease in Percentage decrcase in increase Volume Area" Diameterb volume doubling number Volume Area" Diameterb Doubling of Halving of Volume 1 .o 100.0 58.7 26.0 Volume 1 .o 50.0 37.0 20.6 The industry and research standard for caliper measurements inherently miscalculates tumor volume by assuming the width, which is normally smaller than the height, and height of the tumor are equal. 22, 921929 (2003). In both cases, the height of the tumor will be much smaller than its length or width (Figure 2.). Mice in Phase I and Phase IV control group received no bevacizumab. 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). We found the same result for human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) xenografts. Pursuant to one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, each sample has normal distribution (ppIV_control = 0.981, ppIV_case1 = 0.998, ppIV_case2 = 0.854). In Phase III, we have investigated C38 colon adenocarcinoma growth with bevacizumab therapy. Mol. Additionally, we explore the impact of six different tumour . Kim DK, Synn CB, Yang SM, Kang S, Baek S, Oh SW, Lee GJ, Kang HW, Lee YS, Park JS, Kim JH, Byeon Y, Kim YS, Lee DJ, Kim HW, Park JD, Lee SS, Lee JY, Lee JB, Kim CG, Hong MH, Lim SM, Kim HR, Pyo KH, Cho BC. In this phase, three groups were created. 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. 26 December 2022, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology 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. J. Natl. In several recent studies ([21, 22]), tumor volume is calculated assuming ellipsoid shape: Results from a vaccine trial from AstraZeneca. A diagram of an ellipsoid, with the derivations of the variables needed to calculate its volume. No mice died during the experiment, therefore 5 mice from the control group, and 9 mice from the case group were sacrificed on the 23rd day. (9). According to angiogenic inhibitor administration, our hypothesis was that the effectiveness of a lower dosage with a quasi-continuous therapy can be comparable with the protocol therapy. Kubatka, P. et al. Notice that the caliper-based measurements have a larger standard deviation. McPhail, L.D. The tumor volume calculation was executed using the formula V = (W2 L)/2 for caliper measurements, where V is tumor volume, W is tumor width, and L is tumor length . Circular RNA circTRPS1-2 inhibits the proliferation and migration of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by reducing the production of ribosomes. Preclinical Imaging Center, Gedeon Richter Plc., Budapest, Hungary, Affiliation Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper. Mice were humanely sacrificed using cervical dislocation. ), the more correlated a given group (scanner or caliper estimations) is to the black line (r2 = 1), the more accurate the tumor volume measurements are. We compared the volumes, areas . Autopsy revealed only minimal local tumor; however death was not caused by tumor. 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. On Day 14, when the tumor volume reached ~500 mm 3, the mice were . The tumor number, from one to ten, is shown against the percent error. Get just this article for as long as you need it, Prices may be subject to local taxes which are calculated during checkout. Can the Kuznetsov Model Replicate and Predict Cancer Growth in Humans? In the top-left graph (Figure 19. With constant width and length, the measured volume changes with the shape of the tumor. In both cases, three groups were compared in the experiments. PASW Statistics 18 (SPSS Statistics, IBM, USA) and Matlab R2009b (MathWorks, USA) were used for statistical analysis. 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. Treat. 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. Weber, W.A. 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. A smaller diameter mask will help to position the tumor in the center of the scan, but it will not alter this effect. A study[4]on caliper measurements, shoved the very poor accuracy of the formula used for caliper measurements. 41, 16901694 (1981). 8600 Rockville Pike We are sorry, but there is no personal subscription option available for your country. 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. Preclinical evaluation of LU 79553: a novel bis-naphthalimide with potent antitumor activity. A structured light-based system for scanning subcutaneous tumors in laboratory animals. Healthy tissues have efficient vasculature and effective blood supply due to the balance of proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors. In addition, calipers also place undue strain on the animal during measurement, assume conditions for a perfect ellipsoid (which most tumors are not), and can lead to unnecessary losses of money over time. (Budapest, Hungary). They then used different formulas to calculate tumor volume from these tumor measurements and compared the calculated tumor volumes with the real tumor volume to identify the formulas that gave the most accurate volume calculations. . 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. 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. 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. Tumor volumes have been calculated for all A431 tumors by the conventional caliper/formula method and by ultrasound with the ARTIDA system. (5) A two-dimensional mathematical model was applied for tumor volume evaluation, and tumor- and therapy-specific constants were calculated for the three different groups. Citation: Spi J, Kovcs L, Drexler DA, Kocsis P, Gajri D, Spi Z (2015) Tumor Volume Estimation and Quasi-Continuous Administration for Most Effective Bevacizumab Therapy. 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. In Phase I, 12 mice were implanted with C38 colon adenocarcinoma. Jensen, M.M., Jrgensen, J.T., Binderup, T. & Kjr, A. Tumor volume in subcutaneous mouse xenografts measured by microCT is more accurate and reproducible than determined by 18F-FDG-microPET or external caliper. Sci. Phase III contained three subphases, in every subphases two groups were created; control group received bevacizumab in one dose according to the protocol, while case group received substantially lower doses every day. Affiliation Because the industrys caliper-based formula allows for these inclusions in nonexistent volumes more often than not, it yields inaccurate measurements, which can confuse. The size of maximum tumor volumes observed in our study fulfills the requirements of Hungarian animal experimental research protocol. 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. Epub 2013 Jul 11. Is the Subject Area "Cancers and neoplasms" applicable to this article? broad scope, and wide readership a perfect fit for your research every time. 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. Isofluorane (0.95 x 2.0%) was applied for inhalational anesthesia, and intubation was performed. For both one has to have the ease of hand and get used to manipulation of the instrument. & Russo, I.H. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g006. Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter what matters in science, free to your inbox daily. 37, 331337 (2011). J. Ultrasound Med. Hence, the first step has to be the vasculature normalization with the reconstruction of the balance of pro- and antiangiogenic factors. Due to the collaboration between medical doctors and biomedical engineers, model-based treatment protocols can be created. Starting with f = 1, we have investigated the goodness of the fitting, using an iterative method. Tumours of the mammary gland. National Library of Medicine In Phase III/3, control group members received one 200 g bevacizumab dose for an 18-day therapy (on the 3rd and 21st days); case group members received 1.11 g bevacizumab every day for 20 days. In addition, the root mean square, R2 values under the linear regression equations in Figure 15. symbolize the precision of the data. 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. Tievsky AL, Ziegler RB, Salhus MR, Weisskoff R. Comparison of diameter and perimeter methods for tumor volume calculation. calipers and Water Displacement methods Tumor mimicking objects Vol. 17, 905910 (2004). . A typical comparison of tumor volume measurements by TumorImager-2TM with calipers. In this phase, 5 immunocompetent mice in control group, and 9 immunocompetent mice in case group were used. During the MRI measurements, life parameters of the mice were monitored. Epub 2014 May 28. Firstly, since the tumor is assumed to be an ellipsoid shape, and the tumors morphology often deviates significantly from this as it grows, this method will produce errors as big as 18.4%. et al. Using a caliper, growth of the tumor in height is not measured as only width and length changes will affect the calculated volume. Competing interests: The authors have the following interests: Coauthors PK and DG are employed by Gedeon Richter Ltd. Avastin (bevacizumab) is manufactured by Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, California, USA; EU patent expiry in 2019 in the US and 2022 in EU. Accuracy of Optical Imaging for Measuring Tumor Burden In Vivo . (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 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]. No, Is the Subject Area "Breast cancer" applicable to this article? by Mammog raphy (c.c) . []. 47, 510 (2001). 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. Figure 1. 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. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Russo, J. Timing wise both methods perform the same. Further geometrical or visual data are not stored simultaneously. a) Haematoxylin Eosin (H&E) staining was applied to investigate tumor morphology. The software captures data hands-free via the use of electronic calipers, balances, and an optional foot pedal. Pathology of tumours in laboratory animals. Google Scholar. In the control group, one mouse died on the 20th day due to tumor toxicity. <> stream Our hypothesis is that the effectiveness of a lower dosage with a quasi-continuous therapy can be comparable with the protocol therapy. Influence of breast cancer histology on the relationship between ultrasound and pathology tumor size measurements. Physical activity cancer preventionmechanisms. In Phase I, 10 mice were sacrificed at the 24th day of the experiment. Almost 90% of the establishments that make tumor volume measurements using calipers use a modified version of the ellipsoid formula, under the incorrect assumption that a tumor is always a perfect ellipsoid. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g007.
