Preclinical evaluation of LU 79553: a novel bis-naphthalimide with potent antitumor activity. Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper. Tumor growth was investigated without therapy and with antiangiogenic therapy (using bevacizumab [15]). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.t003. This can happen if the mouse is pressed into the mask or if the body is stretched when held. Oncol. 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. Notice that the red dots are generally underestimations, while the blue squares are generally overestimations; the former is because of the unmeasured part of the tumor, as discussed in Section 3.5, and the fact that tumors tend to grow under the surface of the skin rather than above it in their early stages of development, and the latter is because of the inherent overestimation in the industry-standard caliper-based formula. Epub 2017 Mar 21. In the case1 group, one mouse died on the 17th day. For the most precise result, tumor mass values, which were measured at the end of the experiment, were compared in the statistical analysis. Girit, I.C., Jure-Kunkel, M. & McIntyre, K.W. Tumor volume in subcutaneous mouse xenografts measured by microCT is more accurate and reproducible than determined by 18 F-FDG-microPET or external caliper. It then segments the tumor boundary (red area surrounded by the yellow boundary in Figure 12.) Mammary tumors similar to those observed in women can be induced in rats by intraperitoneal administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Department of Control Engineering and Information Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary, Affiliation For more information about PLOS Subject Areas, click and transmitted securely. This process takes 45 days. (1). To obtain The study was carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institutes of Health. 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. Hence, the first step has to be the vasculature normalization with the reconstruction of the balance of pro- and antiangiogenic factors. (9). where V m is the measurement threshold that represents the smallest measurable tumor volume using a caliper. A two-dimensional mathematical model was created from the experimental results of BALB/c mice with KHJJ tumor line [25]: This is the formula most used in research and industry. 39, 720 (1996). This means that the daily treatment with one-twelfth total dose resulted in significantly smaller tumors than the protocol-based treatment. 1st Department of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. Figure 19. The variables for the volume of a tumor, as measured by a caliper, are determined by a, b, and c in Figure 1, where length L is 2a, width W is 2b, and height H is c. VT, the volume of a tumor is determined by. Predicting tumor volume in radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with prostate cancer. Each dot, in addition to signifying a real-life tumors width and height, also signifies through the right y-axis what percentage of a caliper-based measurement with the same width it is. 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). Our hypothesis is that the effectiveness of a lower dosage with a quasi-continuous therapy can be comparable with the protocol therapy. 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. 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. Cells should be suspended in a volume so that 300 l contains required number of cells per injection. %PDF-1.4 Tumors are assumed to be perfectly spherical (width = height) in industry and research, even though an overwhelming amount (almost 100%) of tumors in this study exhibited smaller heights than widths. Figure 14. . Inhibiting the glycerophosphodiesterase EDI3 in ER-HER2+ breast cancer cells resistant to HER2-targeted therapy reduces viability and tumour growth. This process slightly stretches the body and deforms the tumor. In Phase IV, the caliper measurement days were the 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th, 22nd and 23rd days. Tumor growth can take place under such conditions; however delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs is obstructed. Mice were killed after 38 days. Tumor was located in the last third of the back of the mouse in every case. Keller M, Rohlf K, Glotzbach A, Leonhardt G, Lke S, Derksen K, Demirci , Gener D, AlWahsh M, Lambert J, Lindskog C, Schmidt M, Brenner W, Baumann M, Zent E, Zischinsky ML, Hellwig B, Madjar K, Rahnenfhrer J, Overbeck N, Reinders J, Cadenas C, Hengstler JG, Edlund K, Marchan R. J Exp Clin Cancer Res. CAS and calculates an interpolated surface under the tumor boundary based on the healthy surface around the tumor (navy blue line in Figure 12.). Cancer Res. Open Access Experimentally induced mammary tumors in rats. 55, 74108 (2005). 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. 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%. Contrast agents improve the visibility, but it is an extra strain to the organism, which can be lethal to animals which are in the final stage of cancer. Traditionally their volume growth has been monitored by using a mechanical caliper. 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. Our results for the case group (daily, quasi-continuous small amount administration) and the control group (one big dose according to the protocol) are Controller-based therapy has the obvious advantage against e.g. . Clarys, J.P. & Marfell-Jones, M.J. Soft tissue segmentation of the body and fractionation of the upper and lower limbs. Each day before the administration, the mice' body weight and tumor volume were measured and recorded. Biol. BMC Medical . In Phase I, we have investigated tumor growth without therapy with two types of mouse tumor. 41, 16901694 (1981). Imaging 33, 2737 (2006). Wrote the paper: JS ZS PK LK. J. Nucl. Yes It can be carried out in vivo during the experiment due to the subcutaneous localization of the tumor. Comparison of volume measurement results between four users. Usually, 3.0 x 10 6 cells are needed per injection. Influence of breast cancer histology on the relationship between ultrasound and pathology tumor size measurements. Data Availability: All relevant data are within the paper. 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. 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 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]. Mammary tumors seemed to take on an oblate spheroid geometry. The widely accepted method for calculating the volume of subcutaneous tumors is to measure the length and width of the tumor with a caliper, and, while assuming that the tumor is the shape of an ellipsoid and that the height of the tumor is equal to its width, use the formula for the volume of an ellipsoid. Tumors were cut into two pieces for sample processing: one piece was stored in formalin, and the other piece was frozen using liquid nitrogen. A direct 3d measurement tool such as the TM900 does not induce such method sensitivity but cannot exclude operator dependency of the obtained values. 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. Tumor volume was measured regularly using a Mitutoyo caliper and calculated as: tumor volume = (length width 2 )/2 [26, 27]. 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. After staining, fluorescence pictures were done from the slides using confocal microscope (BIO-RAD MRC-1024).
https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g001. . Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper as well. 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. The athymic (nude) mouse is a useful model for studying the biology and response to therapies of human tumors in vivo. First of all, our hypothesis according to the importance of administration is proved. 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. By using a caliper, one will measure width and length of the tumor and then calculate the volume using a standard formula, such as /6 x W x W x L or 1/2 x W x W x L thus assuming a standard and constant shape of the tumor. For ultrasonography measurements, we calculated tumor volume . Tumor volume measurement cannot happen right after tumor implantation. The cause of death was tumor toxicity; however, none of the clinical criteria for euthanasia could be observed at these animals. 1 0 obj where f is a constant which belongs to a certain tumor type. No, Is the Subject Area "Cancer treatment" applicable to this article? We are sorry, but there is no personal subscription option available for your country. 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 results presented here were provided by them. et al. However, if the treatment is lengthy, the problem of side-effects also has to be considered. The size of maximum tumor volumes observed in our study fulfills the requirements of Hungarian animal experimental research protocol. Pathology of tumours in laboratory animals. 37, 19 (1996). Further geometrical or visual data are not stored simultaneously. Gullino, P.M., Pettigrew, H.M. & Grantham, F.H. 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. During the MRI measurements, life parameters of the mice were monitored.
Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper. Effects of different applied voltages of irreversible electroporation on prostate cancer in a mouse model. A study[4] (Figure 5.) 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.). Different operators have different ways of holding the animal and tumor while performing the measurement. 2015 Feb;43(2):145-70. doi: 10.1177/0192623314532036.

Ultrasonography as the Gold Standard for In Vivo Volumetric Determination of Chemically-induced Mammary Tumors. Case1 group members received one 200 g bevacizumab dose on the 8th day, case2 group members received 1.11 g bevacizumab from the 8th day every day for 15 days. For both one has to have the ease of hand and get used to manipulation of the instrument. The system includes database, data management and processing software and can be complemented with a weight . 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]. & trukelj, B. N-methylnitrosourea induced breast cancer in rat, the histopathology of the resulting tumours and its drawbacks as a model. Kubatka, P. et al. Tumor Volume Formula for Caliper Measurements, 3. In this phase, 5 immunocompetent mice in control group, and 9 immunocompetent mice in case group were used. Cancer Inst. 22, 921929 (2003). ), 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. Would you like email updates of new search results? We have found that there is significant difference between the means of the samples (p = 0.002, using 0.05 level of significance). Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. On the other hand, values given by a scanner (VS, red triangles) more closely follow the true volume of the pennies (VT, blue diamonds). & Lin, C.A. (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. Traditionally, caliper measurements are used to calculate tumor volume. Evaluation of prostate volume by transabdominal ultrasonography with modified ellipsoid formula at different stages of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tumor volume was calculated by the modified ellipsoidal formula: V = (Length Width 2) . In this phase, three groups were created. Figure 3. Google Scholar. The authors declare no competing financial interests. calipers and Water Displacement methods Tumor mimicking objects Vol. Even though we did not have a statistical analysis of volume loss due to the unmeasured part of tumors in caliper measurements, the lost volume could be higher than the scanner results. Because the industrys caliper-based formula allows for these inclusions in nonexistent volumes more often than not, it yields inaccurate measurements, which can confuse. Breast cancer measurements with magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and mammography. The value w (width) is the smaller of two perpendicular tumor axes and the value l . An average penny has a diameter of 19 mm and a height of 1.27 mm, yielding a volume of 360.1 mm3. Harris, R.E., Alshafie, G.A., Abou-Issa, H. & Seibert, K. Chemopreventive of breast cancer in rats by celecoxib, a ciclooxygenase 2 inhibitor. 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. 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. This process not only deforms the tumor mass but also creates undesirable pain on the animal.

Mol. Article Faustino-Rocha AI, Gama A, Oliveira PA, Vanderperren K, Saunders JH, Pires MJ, Ferreira R, Ginja M. Life Sci. Tumours of the mammary gland. In Phase I, 10 mice were sacrificed at the 24th day of the experiment. 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. One can see that the two-dimensional mathematical model fits to the MRI-measured values, while the protocol-based values present totally different curve. In addition, studies using CT scans concluded that CT yielded tumor volume values 11 to 12% less (an underestimate) than those which were measured by calipers, and that CT-based measurements yielded more accurate and consistent values than caliper-based measurements[6, 7]. Cancer Res. 2022 Dec 20;3(12):100852. doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100852. Measured data is the MRI-measured tumor volumetumor mass pairs on the 23rd day of Phase III/3 (case and control group). 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. % 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. by Mammog raphy (c.c) . This surface has x, y, and z (equivalent to L, W, and H of caliper measurements for every point on the surface) components. in The Laboratory Mouse (eds. . First is to find an appropriate mathematical model for tumor volume evaluation from caliper-measured data. 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). Is the Subject Area "Cancers and neoplasms" applicable to this article? The problems with tumor volume measurements by calipers, 3.1 Tumor growth: Height is not equal to the width of the tumor, 3.3 Caliper measurements are time-consuming, 3.4 Caliper measurements ignore a larger volume, https://ugobasile.com/products/catalogue/pain-and-inflammation/plethysmometer, A Structured Light Based Laboratory Animal Subcutaneous Tumor Scanning System. Consequently, when tumor mass data is unavailable (during the experiment), tumor volume value can be validated with MRI; in that way outlier data points (which were calculated using the two-dimensional mathematical model) can be filtered out. They found that caliper and ultrasonography measurements were significantly correlated but that tumor volumes calculated using different formulas varied substantially. 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. 2009, 18 (2009). Figure 5. A structured light-based system for scanning subcutaneous tumors in laboratory animals. We found out that due to this unmeasured part, the dissected tumor volumes were about 6% larger than the scan results.

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. Breast Cancer Res. In Phase IV, eleven weeks old male SCID mice with implanted HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma was used. A smaller standard deviation in a set of measurements suggests a lesser possibility of error. Timing wise both methods perform the same. https://doi.org/10.1038/laban.254. Am. Figure 16. In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles & Hafstrm, L. Estimation of liver tumor volume using different formulasan experimental study in rats. Figure 12. In the experiment 9.4 Tesla field strength Varian small-animal MRI was used. 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. 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. The lines on the graphs have a slope of 1, signifying that it represents caliper-based measurements in which height equals width. The usual administration is via intravenous infusion; once every 2 or 3 weeks. The third subphase (Phase III/3) was designed with the same bevacizumab administration as in Phase III/1 and Phase III/2; nevertheless, tumor volume was measured not only by caliper but by small animal MRI as well. Research and Innovation Center of Obuda University, Physiological Controls Group, Obuda University, Budapest, Hungary, Affiliation Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! To reduce the time of analysis one could e.g. Pursuant to one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, each sample has normal distribution (ppIV_control = 0.981, ppIV_case1 = 0.998, ppIV_case2 = 0.854). 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. A diagram of an ellipsoid, with the derivations of the variables needed to calculate its volume. Isofluorane (0.95 x 2.0%) was applied for inhalational anesthesia, and intubation was performed. You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. In Phase III/3, control group contained 5 mice, case group contained 9 mice; all mice were implanted with C38 mouse colon adenocarcinoma. Materials and methods: The murine CaNT subcutaneous xenograft model was used. We found the same result for human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) xenografts.

PubMed Tumor volumes measured with a Plethysmometer (VPleth) independent of caliper and scanner measurements (VC, VS) vs. VC and VS. Table 1. One of them died on the 18th day, and another one on the 23rd day. Modern Pathol. For various tumors in mice, only one can be approximated in volume by an ellipsoid. No, Is the Subject Area "Mouse models" applicable to this article? et al. In Phase I, 12 mice were implanted with C38 colon adenocarcinoma. Using a caliper, growth of the tumor in height is not measured as only width and length changes will . During the scan, a mouse should be held in a relaxed manner without stretching its skin to cause unwanted deformation of the tumor body. Correlation was investigated with Pearsons rank correlation test (Pearsons R) and coefficient of determination (R2). Thank you for visiting nature.com. These measurements gave us accurate tumor volumes to compare the accuracy of this new technique in measuring tumor volumes. This creates the possibility of further efficient therapeutic agent use (if any) or assists the more effective direct antitumoral effect of bevacizumab. All rights reserved. Figure 10. The aim of this article is therefore to explain of the tumor volume formula and the problems associated with the caliper measurements. Tumor volume was measured in two different ways. Using the mathematical model, different dosage algorithms can be designed for antiangiogenic cancer therapy [1619]. Open Access J. Ultrasound Med. 12 immunocompetent mice were transplanted subcutaneously with C38 colon adenocarcinoma, and 11 immunocompetent mice were injected intramuscularly with B16 melanoma. The scanner-based measurements yield a higher correlation in this sense than caliper-based measurements. An official website of the United States government. The tumor number, from one to ten, is shown against the percent error. Figure 17. To compare more than two samples, ANOVA test was applied. The second result which is discussed in the article is comparison of the effectiveness of bevacizumab administration in the case of protocol-based and quasi-continuous therapies. Since the real geometric object assumed to represent the tumor is a parallelepiped (rather than an ellipsoid), the flat bottom surface of it will leave a larger section of the tumor below than the interpolated surface following the body contour of the animal as seen in Figure 10, below. 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. This approach presents an alternative to calipers which, although cheap, fast, and easy to use, introduce many biases for tumor volume estimation. The 1st Department of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research of the Semmelweis University (Budapest, Hungary) and the Physiological Controls Group of the Obuda University (Budapest, Hungary) began collaborating on antiangiogenic therapy research in 2012including the current experimental investigations. Nevertheless the result of our study shows that the effectiveness is even better. 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). Read the article on why you should not use calipers! 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]. Even the same operator, with different trials or at different moments in time does not always hold the animal in exactly the same way. The second subphase (Phase III/2) was similar to Phase III/1, mice received the same dosage of bevacizumab as in Phase III/1, however sample size was higher (6 immunocompetent mice in control group, 12 immunocompetent mice in case group), and bevacizumab administration started earlier, on the 3rd day of the experiment. Care should be taken not to stretch the mouse whether using one or two hands to hold the mouse during a scan. Similarly, Zhang et al. Tievsky AL, Ziegler RB, Salhus MR, Weisskoff R.
