Based on the experimental data, model identification can be carried out which describes the mathematical model of the investigated biological process. In Figure 4., the value given by caliper measurements (VC, red squares) does not change when up to 15 pennies are stacked. National Library of Medicine Preclinical evaluation of LU 79553: a novel bis-naphthalimide with potent antitumor activity. In addition, we have found that the quasi-continuous administration of bevacizumab is effective against tumor growth of C38 colon adenocarcinoma, in contrast . 29 September 2022, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology All mice were implanted with HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma. For the most precise result, tumor mass values, which were measured at the end of the experiment, were compared in the statistical analysis. Ergonomics 37, 217229 (1994). Epub 2014 May 28. In Phase IV, control group members received no bevacizumab. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190, Editor: Francesco Bertolini, Effects of holding an animal on tumor volume while scanning. In Phase IV, approximately 2.9106 cells were injected subcutaneously into each SCID mouse. McCormick, D.L., Adamowski, C.B., Fiks, A. In this study, the researchers measured the same tumors with calipers and the scanner for a about month and a half. Open Access https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g001. Mammary tumors similar to those observed in women can be induced in rats by intraperitoneal administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. One can see experimental settings in Table 1, while MRI image of a control group mouse (C4) that was measured at the end of the experiment can be found in Fig 3. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.t001, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g003. In the top-left graph (Figure 19. Controller-based therapy has the obvious advantage against e.g. b) Fluorescence picture was created using CD31 antibody immunohistochemistry staining to calculate vascularization area. Our hypothesis is that the effectiveness of a lower dosage with a quasi-continuous therapy can be comparable with the protocol therapy. Bousquet, P.F. Bevacizumab is an exogenous inhibitor which inhibits the biological activity of human VEGF. Notice that the caliper-based measurements have a larger standard deviation. 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. Tumor was located in the last third of the back in every cases, thus the effect of respiratory movement was minimal. In the first subphase (Phase III/1), control group members (5 immunocompetent mice) received 10 mg per kg body weight bevacizumab, while case group members (5 immunocompetent mice) received one-tenth dose of control dose spread over 18 days. 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. 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. The dose depends mainly on weight. 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. In Phase IV, the caliper measurement days were the 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th, 22nd and 23rd days. Tumor cells form and expand subcutaneously in the cavity they are injected, into between the layers of the skin. Value of prostate volume measurement using transabdominal ultrasonography for the improvement of prostate-specific antigen-based cancer detection. Open Access articles citing this article. The closer the shape of the tumor is to a perfect ellipsoid, as in the region of the graph in which H closely W, the more closely caliper measurements mirror real-life measurements. Yes 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). by water displace ment (c.c) Vol. 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. Objectives: Volume measurement of subcutaneous xenograft tumors in nude mice models is an important metric to assess tumor growth or response to therapy. 2022 Dec 20;3(12):100852. doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100852. In Phase III/3, control group contained 5 mice, case group contained 9 mice; all mice were implanted with C38 mouse colon adenocarcinoma. 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. PMC 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. All surgery and sacrifice were performed under sodium pentobarbital anaesthesia (Nembutal, 70 mg/kg). Parkin, D.M., Bray, F., Ferlay, J.

Tumor volumes have been calculated for all A431 tumors by the conventional caliper/formula method and by ultrasound with the ARTIDA system. 19, 6170 (1989). Carlsson, G., Gullberg, B. Careers. Berg, W.A. Comp. The cause of death was tumor toxicity; however, none of the clinical criteria for euthanasia could be observed at these animals. Fornage, B.D., Toubas, O. Measured data is the MRI-measured tumor volumetumor mass pairs on the 23rd day of Phase III/3 (case and control group). It means that knowing the tumor mass, tumor volume can be estimated with suitable accuracy; hence the lack of MRI measurement can be replaced in the case of Phase I. Another approach is to utilize the scan images (Figure 14.) The tumor shown has a dip in its form, which means that its volume will be less than that of a tumor without a dip. A caliper measurement would only take into account the components for length and width and therefore ignore this dip measured by the values for height, which would, in turn, inaccurately measure the tumors volume. Yes In one trial, 208 tumors were measured, and 98.94% of those tumors exhibited much smaller heights than widths. Influence of breast cancer histology on the relationship between ultrasound and pathology tumor size measurements. Traditionally, caliper measurements are used to calculate tumor volume. 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. To reduce the time of analysis one could e.g. No animals were sacrificed before the experimental endpoint. The height and topography of the tumor is not taken into account in a caliper measurement. This saves money, as mice, drugs, and calipers can be costly for researchers. The problems with tumor volume measurements by calipers 3.1 Tumor growth: Height is not equal to the width of the tumor . The lines on the graphs have a slope of 1, signifying that it represents caliper-based measurements in which height equals width. In the case1 group, one mouse died on the 17th day. 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). The caliper, unlike the scanner, does not consider that the height of the stack changes while the length and width remain the same. ISSN 0093-7355 (print). 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. Tumor volumes ranged from 0.5 cc to 187.9 cc, with a median of 21.8 cc. Tumor as a 3-D object has three diameters (width, length and height); however in vivo only two diameters can be measured by caliper (width, w and length, l). 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. At this critical stage in the tumors growth, the caliper-based volume measurement will generally be larger than the tumors actual volume, since the longest axis of the parallelepiped will be partially empty. The other eight tumors exhibit forms that cannot be compared to a perfect ellipsoid. 39, 720 (1996). 2017 May 1;176:35-41. doi: 10.1016/j.lfs.2017.03.013. Tumor was located in the last third of the back of the mouse in every case. 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. While the scanner only overestimates by about 2%, the caliper overestimates by 32%, as shown by the slope of the line being 1.32. Figure 8. Figure 15.

Usually, 3.0 x 10 6 cells are needed per injection. 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. Importantly, these measured size differences are real; they are not due to a miscalculation by the algorithm but due to the pressing of the tumor mass into the body. The most recent ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) consensus guidelines suggest that treatment discontinuation or maintenance are feasible options after 46 months of full-dose first-line therapy to treat colon and rectal adenocarcinoma [37]. . . 2 0 obj Using a caliper, growth of the tumor in height is not measured as only width and length changes will affect the calculated volume. 37, 19 (1996). Without prior training of users, this effect can lead to greater variability in intra and inter-user measurements. Figure 5. Wrote the paper: JS ZS PK LK. et al. Tumor volume was calculated by the modified ellipsoidal formula: V = (Length Width 2) . Eichelerger, L.E. Figure 10. A possible solution for height approximation [23] is: & Deshayes, J.L.

Internet Explorer). Average of tumor volumes for every measurement days of the experiment can be seen in Fig 8. 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. One of them died on the 18th day, and another one on the 23rd day. A patented algorithm running in the TumorManagerTM program calculates the tumor volume by creating a 3D surface map of the tumor (red-colored surface in Figure 12.). They found that caliper and ultrasonography measurements were significantly correlated but that tumor volumes calculated using different formulas varied substantially. Read the article on why you should not use calipers! To validate our results which come from the experiments where mouse tumor vascularization was inhibited with humanized VEGF, we evaluated the results of Phase IV, where immunocompromized (SCID) mice were used with human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) xenografts. & Faustino-Rocha AI, Gama A, Oliveira PA, Vanderperren K, Saunders JH, Pires MJ, Ferreira R, Ginja M. Life Sci. Mammary tumors seemed to take on an oblate spheroid geometry. A study[4] (Figure 5.) 12, 881885 (2005). 105, 2023 (1983). In the case of C38 colon adenocarcinoma, first, the subcutaneously transplanted piece of tumor has to disintegrate, and after that the new tumor colony (which needs to be measured) can begin to grow from the disintegrated tumor cells. 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). (1). 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 . This process not only deforms the tumor mass but also creates undesirable pain on the animal. 2001 Jan 15;19(2):551-7. doi: 10.1200/JCO.2001.19.2.551.

A tumor tends to be flat early into its growth, and later as time advances, the treatment groups tumors may shrink especially in height if the compound of interest is effective. PLOS ONE promises fair, rigorous peer review, The aim of the experiment was to create and validate a clinically relevant tumor growth model (using C38 colon adenocarcinoma), focusing on the effect of angiogenesis. We have found that there is significant difference between the means of the samples (p = 0.002, using 0.05 level of significance). In order to assess interobserver variation, each . The overestimation of caliper measurements is due mainly to the fact that the formula used is that of a parallelepiped, a shape unlike an ellipsoid actually represents the geometric body that is being measured. . J. Harris, R.E., Alshafie, G.A., Abou-Issa, H. & Seibert, K. Chemopreventive of breast cancer in rats by celecoxib, a ciclooxygenase 2 inhibitor. Orthotopic xenograft tumor models, which are more difficult to establish, are close to the clinical behavior of malignant tumors in terms of location of the primary tumor site, the tumor progression, the tumor micro-environment, cell migration and metastasis [1 . The width of a fully formed tumor will be much larger than its height. [45] have found that the combination of low-dose cyclophosphamide and ginsenoside Rg3 therapy can be more effective than the normal administration. ), 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. A quiet and modestly T2-weighted spin-echo scan was acquired at 4.7T (TE = 15 msec, TR = 1100 msec, 0.5 mm isotropic . Radiology 254, 110118 (2010). It was on the 10th day, since HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma grows slower in mice than C38 colon adenocarcinoma. Treat. Role of real-time sonography in assessment of breast diseases: a review of 200 cases (Abstr).

A graph depicting tumor volume in mm3, as measured by a caliper compared to its actual volume, vs. days. 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 closer the value is to 1, the more precise the data. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. Similarly, we may have the possibility to a) measure the tumor volume using nanotechnology, b) create a pump for drug administration and c) design control algorithms for specific tumor types. % Table 1. Mammary tumors similar to those observed in women can be induced in rats by intraperitoneal administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. (6) (7). Furthermore, caliper-based measurements cause undue stress on the animal and, by extension, the tumor, which can further distort measurements. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Google Scholar. PubMedGoogle Scholar. We have investigated different methods to find the best tumor volume estimation since it creates the possibility for precise and effective drug administration with a much lower dose than in the protocol. This problem can be explained by our observation, namely tumors which were grown without therapy have more symmetric and solid closed shape, in contrast to tumors which were grown under antiangiogenic therapy. Also, at beginning of the tumor growth when the tumor is invisible or when a tumor shrinks due to the effectiveness of the drug, in order to measure the volume of such an invisible tumor, it is a general practice to palpate the tumor area to reveal some mass to measure. 55, 74108 (2005). volume42,pages 217224 (2013)Cite this article.

If this surface intersects above the bottom of the tumor, then the volume estimation of the tumor will be smaller than the true value as can be seen from Figure 9. Figure 19. In Phase III/3, MRI-measured tumor volume values are available which can be used as reference values for caliper-measured data. Treat. Several studies have investigated the effectiveness of bevacizumab therapy according to different cancer types but these days there is an intense debate on its utility. Russo, J. The system includes database, data management and processing software and can be complemented with a weight . Bookshelf For the TM900 one has to push the acquisition button and almost immediately the images are stored and values calculated. depicts the inaccuracy of the formula used for caliper measurements, in which the height of the tumor is assumed to be equal to its width. Affiliation To compare the effectiveness of the different investigated treatment methods, statistical analysis was used. PASW Statistics 18 (SPSS Statistics, IBM, USA) and Matlab R2009b (MathWorks, USA) were used for statistical analysis. []. We have found that mice which have received therapy had tumor with irregular, and in several cases berry-shaped structure, especially when reaching large volume. It then segments the tumor boundary (red area surrounded by the yellow boundary in Figure 12.) The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the author contributions section. 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. Figure 7. The authors also say thanks to Andrs Sztodola, from the 1st Department of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research Institute from Semmelweis University Animal Laboratory, for his technical help during the experiments. the tumor volume are made using digital calipers, and bio logical activity is quantified via the assessment of changes in tumor volume between treated and control mice. Epub 2017 Mar 21. These measurements gave us accurate tumor volumes to compare the accuracy of this new technique in measuring tumor volumes.
