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. 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. Measure the three dimensions of peanut M&M's, serving as our similar-sized tumor surrogates, using vernier calipers. Google Scholar. Tumor volume determined by microCT, 18 F-FDG-PET and external caliper Tumor volume measured by microCT, PET and caliper all correlated (P < 0.001) with reference volume (figure 1).MicroCT versus reference volume (n = 20) had the best fit of line y = 1.01 0.04x - 6.1 6.3 (R 2 = 0.97; p < 0.001). 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. The caliper mean-percent-error is 10.6%, nearly twice that of the scanners mean-percent-error of 4.6%. A study[4] (Figure 5.) 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. The parameters V m = 83 mm 3, = 0.84 and = 0.21 from the literature were used [].. For \( {y}_i^j \) eqs. A tumor image, its 3D shape and all geometrical data are automatically calculated and stored. 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). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g002. Influence of breast cancer histology on the relationship between ultrasound and pathology tumor size measurements. A smaller standard deviation in a set of measurements suggests a lesser possibility of error. In this study, the authors measured dimensions of rat mammary tumors using a caliper and using real-time compound B-mode ultrasonography. The volume calculation algorithm relies on the surface interpolated based on the surrounding healthy tissue. A diagram of an ellipsoid, with the derivations of the variables needed to calculate its volume. In clinical practice, the determination of the tumor size (volume) is done by MRI and/or CT, but this is for the purpose of validating the effectiveness of the treatment, and therefore it is not a continuous monitoring. BMC Medical . official website and that any information you provide is encrypted Each day before the administration, the mice' body weight and tumor volume were measured and recorded. Carlsson, G., Gullberg, B. Based on the experimental data, model identification can be carried out which describes the mathematical model of the investigated biological process. 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). Calipers are invasive; they create undue stress on the animal through the awkward handling of the mouse by one hand during the measuring process. (Budapest, Hungary). The problems with tumor volume measurements by calipers 3.1 Tumor growth: Height is not equal to the width of the tumor . Google Scholar. Without prior training of users, this effect can lead to greater variability in intra and inter-user measurements. Res. However mice which were treated with a quasi-continuous therapy (one-tenth dose of control dose spread over 18 days, i.e. Results from a vaccine trial from AstraZeneca. Pollok, K.E. et al. The lines on the graphs have a slope of 1, signifying that it represents caliper-based measurements in which height equals width. Accurately measure the tumor (in cm) using a caliper. Am. One of them died on the 18th day, and another one on the 23rd day. Fornage, B.D., Toubas, O. Breathing was monitored with piezoelectric transducer; temperature of the body was measured by rectal thermometer. Predicting tumor volume in radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with prostate cancer. where V m is the measurement threshold that represents the smallest measurable tumor volume using a caliper. Small MRI measurements were done in the Preclinical Imaging Center of Gedeon Richter Plc. 105, 2023 (1983). Clin. 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. Using a caliper, growth of the tumor in height is not measured as only width and length changes will affect the calculated volume. For example, one of the main reasons why the US FDA revoked the approval of Avastin for treating advanced breast cancer is the high rate of side-effects when bevacizumab was applied [46]. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Davis, P.L. Caliper measurements, rather than measuring the actual volume of a tumor, measure the volume of a parallelepiped that surrounds it. In Phase III/3, case group members received one-tenth dose of control dose intraperitoneally spread over 18 days. Usually, 3.0 x 10 6 cells are needed per injection. Fj^P;7? Sci Rep. 2022 Dec 26;12(1):22336. doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-25258-3. Google Scholar. Effects of different applied voltages of irreversible electroporation on prostate cancer in a mouse model. Tracking tumor growth with real tumor scan pictures. The dose depends mainly on weight. 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.). Controller-based therapy has the obvious advantage against e.g. & Weaver, D.L. Most, if not all, tumors do not fit into this category; this discrepancy results in caliper-based volume measurements including sections that do not exist in the actual tumor, or an overestimation of tumor volume measurement. Description of Lesions. (1). 2013 Oct;67(8):771-6. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2013.06.011. Tumor was located in the last third of the back of the mouse in every case. Oncol. & Morel, M. Clinical, mammographic, and sonographic determination of preoperative breast cancer size. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.t003. et al. Tumor volumes are calculated from digital caliper raw data by using the formula:Volume (mm3) = (l x w2) / 2. 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. PLOS ONE promises fair, rigorous peer review, Med. 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. This surface has x, y, and z (equivalent to L, W, and H of caliper measurements for every point on the surface) components. To compare the effectiveness of the different investigated treatment methods, statistical analysis was used. et al. Therefore, its formula will always overestimate the tumor volume until the height equals its width, as seen in Figure 3. Notice that the caliper-based measurements have a larger standard deviation. An average penny has a diameter of 19 mm and a height of 1.27 mm, yielding a volume of 360.1 mm3. In this study, the authors measured dimensions of rat mammary tumors using a caliper and using real-time . Using an extremely low dosage (as in our study), there is a high probability that these adverse effects can be minimized. b) Fluorescence picture was created using CD31 antibody immunohistochemistry staining to calculate vascularization area. Studies using other methods of imaging have exposed the problems that calipers pose. Role of real-time sonography in assessment of breast diseases: a review of 200 cases (Abstr). Hence, the first step has to be the vasculature normalization with the reconstruction of the balance of pro- and antiangiogenic factors. 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 the case of Phase I and Phase IV, there were no MRI measurements. Comparison of volume measurement results between four users. 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. A two-dimensional mathematical model was applied for tumor volume evaluation, and tumor- and therapy-specific constants were calculated for the three different groups. 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. Yes Traditionally their volume growth has been monitored by using a mechanical caliper. Harris, R.E., Alshafie, G.A., Abou-Issa, H. & Seibert, K. Chemopreventive of breast cancer in rats by celecoxib, a ciclooxygenase 2 inhibitor. 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. Statistical evaluations of agreement between two methods for measuring a quantitative variable. 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. Russo J, Russo IH, Rogers AE, van Zwieten MJ, Gusterson B. Toxicol Pathol. where f is a constant which belongs to a certain tumor type. In the case of Phase III/3 and Phase IV, period of time was specified according to the previous phases (Phase I and Phase III/1); mice were sacrificed on the 23rd day of the experiment. First is to find an appropriate mathematical model for tumor volume evaluation from caliper-measured data. 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). 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. 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. Make sure you get accurate measurements for length, width and height. Mammary tumors similar to those observed in women can be induced in rats by intraperitoneal administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Careers. & Bullock, G.) 253257 (Elsevier Academic, Boston, 2004). . The last step is to find the f constant of the two-dimensional mathematical model for tumor growth without therapy (Phase I). 2017 May 1;176:35-41. doi: 10.1016/j.lfs.2017.03.013. . Stretching of the skin around the tumor of the mouse will cause an under-estimate of the tumor volume since the tumor is pressed into the body (see Figure 13. below). Google Scholar. The post hoc test resulted in the following. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in Clarys, J.P. & Marfell-Jones, M.J. Soft tissue segmentation of the body and fractionation of the upper and lower limbs. Quantity of the optimal solvent administration was also examined in this subphase. Tumor volume was calculated by the modified ellipsoidal formula: V = (Length Width 2) . PLoS ONE 10(11): https://doi.org/10.1038/laban.254. For this dataset, linear curve fitting was carried out (fitted linear curve) to find the mathematical relationship between MRI-measured tumor volume and tumor mass. We are sorry, but there is no personal subscription option available for your country. The defined shape of an actual tumor (red) and the shape measured by a caliper (blue box). by Mammog raphy (c.c) . (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. 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). One can see that the two-dimensional mathematical model fits to the MRI-measured values, while the protocol-based values present totally different curve. Cell Rep Med. 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. Get the most important science stories of the day, free in your inbox. In Phase IV, eleven weeks old male SCID mice with implanted HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma was used. Thank you for visiting nature.com. Ultrasonographic, thermographic and histologic evaluation of MNU-induced mammary tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Correlation was investigated with Pearsons rank correlation test (Pearsons R) and coefficient of determination (R2). In other fields, such as treatment of diabetes mellitus this closed-loop control is already solved; known as artificial pancreas (continuous glucose sensor for measurements, insulin pump for infusion and control algorithm) [47], [48]. 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. Frozen samples were used to create 15 m frozen cuts. A direct 3D volume capture instrument, such as the TM900, will make a stereographic image of the tumor and reconstruct the tumor topography and shape. 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. Lifetime dose-response relationships for mammary tumor induction by a single administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. In order to understand inter-operator differences between operators making both caliper and scanner measurements, we conducted experiments in which multiple numbers of operators measured several tumors both with caliper and scanner. 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. Open Access Open Access articles citing this article. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g006. CA Cancer J. Clin. Since, the assumptions made to measure a 3D object with 2D measurements, the error due to the geometrical assumption are larger than the errors due to handling of the animal causing deformation of the tumor, and this aspect, in general, is ignored. 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). Possible mechanisms mediating an association between physical activity and breast cancer. 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. 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. Cancer Res. Radiology 157, 54 (1985). Determining tumor volume is a useful and quantitative way to monitor tumor progression. Evaluation of prostate volume by transabdominal ultrasonography with modified ellipsoid formula at different stages of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Yes To compare more than two samples, ANOVA test was applied. N-nitrosomethylurea as mammary gland carcinogen in rats. 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. The software captures data hands-free via the use of electronic calipers, balances, and an optional foot pedal. FOIA This approach presents an alternative to calipers which, although cheap, fast, and easy to use, introduce many biases for tumor volume estimation. Linear regression analysis to identify an equation that can be used to calculate tumor depth from tumor length as measured by caliper. (8) Lee, J., Koh, D. & Ong, C.N. 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. Yes Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer. J. Clin. 2015 Feb;43(2):145-70. doi: 10.1177/0192623314532036. Figure 5.

Due to the collaboration between medical doctors and biomedical engineers, model-based treatment protocols can be created. 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. Pritt, B., Ashikaga, T., Oppenheimer, R.G. Yes & Pisani, P. Global cancer statistics, 2002. One common measure of efficacy is the T/C ratio, the ratio of tumor volume in control versus treated mice at a specified Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper. In a study done in England, the researchers at the end of their experiment, dissected tumors and measured their weight with a precise balance, and used these weight values of the tumors to compare results of the caliper and the scanner measurements. Secondly, the aspect of side-effects are not inconsiderable. In the light of the above mentioned, linear curve fitting was carried out to find the mathematical relationship between MRI-measured tumor volume and tumor mass (Phase III/3 case and control groups). Imaging 16, 816 (2008). 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. Mice were monitored daily. This is the formula most used in research and industry. In this phase, three groups were created. A tumor expands in width rather than height as it grows. This process slightly stretches the body and deforms the tumor. Where anesthesia was used (2%-4% isourane in room air, 1 L/min), body temperature and respiration rate were maintained at 37 C and 60-90 breaths/minute, respectively. M}{Gt{zj|&cXx[k?CZ ~AjTxMr0 '~ix$mj/)9?$ t-o6MkVXs's}^E6-^_Yrv#w&r7w@WsQs]#G g$Cn. The advantage of this model is that there is no need to approximate tumor height (which could result in error). 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. No, Is the Subject Area "Breast cancer" applicable to this article? Timing wise both methods perform the same. & Hafstrm, L. Estimation of liver tumor volume using different formulasan experimental study in rats. First of all, our hypothesis according to the importance of administration is proved. Radiology 254, 110118 (2010). National Library of Medicine Watch our 2-minute video overview. Further geometrical or visual data are not stored simultaneously. []. [45] have found that the combination of low-dose cyclophosphamide and ginsenoside Rg3 therapy can be more effective than the normal administration. A possible solution for height approximation [23] is: Med. Breast cancer measurements with magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and mammography. All surgery and sacrifice were performed under sodium pentobarbital anaesthesia (Nembutal, 70 mg/kg). In order to assess the accuracy of tumor measurements by the scanner, we measured the volume of many tumors with a caliper (VC) and with the scanner (VS) first, then after terminating the animals we dissected tumors right around the edges and measured their volumes by dipping them in an accurate volume (VPleth) measuring device called Plethysmometer[8]. CAS <> 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. Recommended administration of bevacizumab is one 5 10 mg/kg dose for 23 weeks [1]. Modern Pathol. Breast Cancer Res. Tumor size was measured every 3 days using a digital caliper and computed according to the ellipsoidal calculation formula: V . Cancer Res. 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. Cancer Res. We have found that there is significant difference between the means of the samples (p = 0.002, using 0.05 level of significance). In another, 7,286 tumors were measured and 99.97% of those exhibited smaller heights than widths. The closer the value is to 1, the more precise the data. Cancer Res. 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. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies For both one has to have the ease of hand and get used to manipulation of the instrument. Determining tumor volume is a useful and quantitative way to monitor tumor progression. 55, 11761180 (1995). This device measures the volume displacement of the water due to any object dipped into a measuring cylinder. produced by the TumorImager-2TM so that the animal is aligned under the mask each time similarly to the previous scan. 41, 16901694 (1981). Tumor volume in subcutaneous mouse xenografts measured by microCT is more accurate and reproducible than determined by 18 F-FDG-microPET or external caliper.
