The figure shows the results of a mouse (C4) from control group (first row), and a mouse (E9) from case group (second row). ISSN 1548-4475 (online) 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. (5) Linear regression analysis to identify an equation that can be used to calculate tumor depth from tumor length as measured by caliper. Is the Subject Area "Cancers and neoplasms" applicable to this article? https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g004. This approach presents an alternative to calipers which, although cheap, fast, and easy to use, introduce many biases for tumor volume estimation. Med. The means of the samples are mpIV_control = 0.65, mpIV_case1 = 0.70, mpIV_case2 = 0.46. . 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. 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. 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 addition, the root mean square, R2 values under the linear regression equations in Figure 15. symbolize the precision of the data. Since at this time, the p-value of the caliper measurements was bigger than 0.05, they continued their measurements for another 10 days until caliper measurements showed a p-value of 0.0484 as shown in Figure 17. Carlsson, G., Gullberg, B. 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. On the bottom left graph in Fig. Open Access A direct 3d measurement tool such as the TM900 does not induce such method sensitivity but cannot exclude operator dependency of the obtained values. Diagnostic accuracy of mammography, clinical examination, US, and MR imaging in preoperative assessment of breast cancer. Tumor volume (and the third diameter) has to be approximated, assuming a certain shape for the tumor. 16 (2008). 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. 29 September 2022, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology Google Scholar. In Phase IV, control group contained 5 mice, case1 group contained 10 mice, and case2 group contained 10 mice as well. 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 the case2 group, one mouse died on the 8th day, before the therapy (bevacizumab administration) started. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g006. Similar to the results from the experiments in Figure 18., this error makes the drug seem less effective than it actually is. This can happen if the mouse is pressed into the mask or if the body is stretched when held. %PDF-1.4 Russo, J. This process takes 45 days. Would you like email updates of new search results? Read the article on why you should not use calipers! Clarys, J.P. & Marfell-Jones, M.J. Soft tissue segmentation of the body and fractionation of the upper and lower limbs. 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. 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. (Budapest, Hungary). Tumor morphology was investigated using standard Haematoxylin Eosin staining on the samples stored in formalin. The aim of this article is therefore to explain of the tumor volume formula and the problems associated with the caliper measurements. Clinical criteria that establish when the endpoint have to be carried out: a) if tumors contributed to a gain of >20% in body weight compared to controls at the same time point; b) tumors that ulcerate, become necrotic or infected; c) any animal found unexpectedly to be moribund, cachectic, or unable to obtain food or water. PLoS ONE 10(11): In Phase I, 10 mice were sacrificed at the 24th day of the experiment. Mice in the control group received no treatment (5 mice); case1 group members (10 mice) received 10 mg per kg body weight bevacizumab in one dose; while case2 group members (10 mice) received 1/180 dose of control dose for 15 days. MeSH The advantage of this model is that there is no need to approximate tumor height (which could result in error). The athymic (nude) mouse is a useful model for studying the biology and response to therapies of human tumors in vivo. Monitoring tumor volume through a direct 3D measurement will include changes in all three directions, height, width and length thus resulting in more accurate realistic data. In Phase I, Phase II and Phase III, a piece of C38 colon adenocarcinoma was transplanted subcutaneously in the recipient animal on the 1st day of the experiment (approximately 2106 cells were transplanted into each mouse). 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. A possible solution for height approximation [23] is: Mammary tumors seemed to take on an oblate spheroid geometry. 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. Then we calculated the Coefficient of Variance between such measurements for both measurements to compare average inter-operator differences. To compare more than two samples, ANOVA test was applied. 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]. 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. Biol. CAS The last step is to find the f constant of the two-dimensional mathematical model for tumor growth without therapy (Phase I). Considering the possibility of precise tumor volume determination and the effective quasi-continuous drug administration, it opens a new treatment choice based on closed-loop control. 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. Article 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. Determining tumor volume is a useful and quantitative way to monitor tumor progression. Measure the mass by using a balance (0.01g) and compute the volume by using the Treat. Careers. Cancer Res. To compare the effectiveness of the different investigated treatment methods, statistical analysis was used. Unmeasured part of the tumor for caliper, Figure 11. 2013 Oct;67(8):771-6. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2013.06.011. The whole experiment consisted of four phases; the article focuses on the Phase III/3 and its results together with the comparison of Phase I and Phase III/3 (Fig 1). These together with the tumor shape and all obtained data can easily be traced and consulted afterwards. We compared the volumes, areas . 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. et al. Bousquet, P.F. The system includes database, data management and processing software and can be complemented with a weight . calculate an average volume based on two extreme segmentations; one including most of the border, and one excluding it. First way is the caliper measurement; in that case tumor diameters (width, length) are measured with digital caliper. Applying the two-dimensional mathematical model (described in Eq 5) the goal is to find the f constant which belongs to the C38 colon adenocarcinoma and the treatment type. In the top-left graph (Figure 19. Mice were monitored daily by personnel experienced in recognizing signs of morbidity (illness, injury, or abnormal behavior) also in weekends and holidays. Mammary tumors similar to those observed in women can be induced in rats by intraperitoneal administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. 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. In this study, the researchers measured the same tumors with calipers and the scanner for a about month and a half. () and were used with the parameters displayed in Table 1Parameters for Gompertz growth were taken from Benzekry et al. ), 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.

Of course, for the closed-loop design frequent and precise tumor volume measuremets are required, thus the problem of tumor volume measurement has to be solved as well. 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. 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. Tumor cells form and expand subcutaneously in the cavity they are injected, into between the layers of the skin. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g001. Table 1 shows the results for tumor volume measure- ments on seven A431 tumors, indicating next to both gold standard volumes (V w , V L ) the caliper/formula derived volume V E and the ARTIDA . 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). 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. Table 1. Mice in Phase III/3 control and case groups, and mice in Phase IV case1 and case2 groups received bevacizumab. . Figure 6. J. Nucl. Figure 2. For the TM900 one has to push the acquisition button and almost immediately the images are stored and values calculated. Tumor was located in the last third of the back of the mouse in every case. & Moon, R.C. 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. 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. Using an extremely low dosage (as in our study), there is a high probability that these adverse effects can be minimized. An average penny has a diameter of 19 mm and a height of 1.27 mm, yielding a volume of 360.1 mm3. The protocol was approved by the Hungarian Animal Experimental Research Ethics Council (llatksrleti Tudomnyos Etikai Tancs, ATET), Permit Number: 22.1/1159/3/2010. We found out that due to this unmeasured part, the dissected tumor volumes were about 6% larger than the scan results. & Bullock, G.) 253257 (Elsevier Academic, Boston, 2004). The authors declare no competing financial interests. Comparison of clinical assessment, mammography and ultrasound in pre-operative estimation of primary breast-cancer size: a practical approach. National Library of Medicine They found that caliper and ultrasonography measurements were significantly correlated but that tumor volumes calculated using different formulas varied substantially.

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. No, Is the Subject Area "Mathematical models" applicable to this article? A study[4] (Figure 5.) In this study, the authors measured dimensions of rat mammary tumors using a caliper and using real-time compound B-mode ultrasonography. Med. Copyright 2023 Westerlind, K.C. Usage of this formula to calculate tumor volume from length and width values resulted in much more precise approximation of the MRI-measured tumor volume than protocol-based calculation.

The post hoc test resulted in the following. broad scope, and wide readership a perfect fit for your research every time. Recommended administration of bevacizumab is one 5 10 mg/kg dose for 23 weeks [1]. 2015 Feb;43(2):145-70. doi: 10.1177/0192623314532036. Mice were humanely sacrificed using cervical dislocation. Research and Innovation Center of Obuda University, Physiological Controls Group, Obuda University, Budapest, Hungary, Affiliation Girit, I.C., Jure-Kunkel, M. & McIntyre, K.W. Starting with f = 1, we have investigated the goodness of the fitting, using an iterative method. Lifetime dose-response relationships for mammary tumor induction by a single administration of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Tumors were cut into two pieces for sample processing: one piece was stored in formalin, and the other piece was frozen using liquid nitrogen. (6) (7). We have examined C38 mouse colon adenocarcinoma and HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma. . We have administered 10 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally, which means 200 g bevacizumab per a mouse, since the mass of the mice in the experiment was approximately 20 g (in the case of C57Bl/6 and SCID mice as well). Clarke, R. Animal models of breast cancer: their diversity and role in biomedical research. Homogeneity of variance was examined with Levenes test; the sample variances are equal (p = 0.052). Because the industrys caliper-based formula allows for these inclusions in nonexistent volumes more often than not, it yields inaccurate measurements, which can confuse. 39, 720 (1996). Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. The resulted linear curve is A typical comparison of tumor volume measurements by TumorImager-2TM with calipers. Can the Kuznetsov Model Replicate and Predict Cancer Growth in Humans? Mice were killed after 38 days. 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. Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody, therefore the effectivity of bevacizumab therapy in mice is not trivial. 2023 Jan 20;42(1):25. doi: 10.1186/s13046-022-02578-w. Zhao R, Chen P, Qu C, Liang J, Cheng Y, Sun Z, Tian H. Cell Death Discov. Hoffman-Goetz, L. et al. mum tumor volume of 0.6 mL was reached. In Phase I, mice were sacrificed when the tumor reached a lethal size; it was on the 24th day of the experiment. Determining tumor volume is a useful and quantitative way to monitor tumor progression. Autopsy revealed only minimal local tumor; however death was not caused by tumor. Tumor volume was calculated by the modified ellipsoidal formula: V = (Length Width 2) . In addition, we have found that the quasi-continuous administration of bevacizumab is effective against tumor growth of C38 colon adenocarcinoma, in contrast to protocol-based treatment. Usually, 3.0 x 10 6 cells are needed per injection. (8) 55, 74108 (2005). & Robinson, S.P. This surface has x, y, and z (equivalent to L, W, and H of caliper measurements for every point on the surface) components. Catheter was placed in the tail vein for injectionaccording to the mouse tail vein injection protocol [30]to investigate drug effect. In Phase III, we have investigated C38 colon adenocarcinoma growth with bevacizumab therapy. Thirty-two tumors (46%) were nonspherical, as defined above; of these, 19 tumors were nonspherical in the x-y plane, 10 tumors were nonspherical in the y-z plane, and 24 tumors were nonspherical in the x-z plane. Lee, J., Koh, D. & Ong, C.N. According to the Xenograft tumor model protocol [20], tumor volume has to be calculated using the following formula: Tievsky AL, Ziegler RB, Salhus MR, Weisskoff R. Comparison of diameter and perimeter methods for tumor volume calculation. (4). Average of tumor volumes for every measurement days of the experiment can be seen in Fig 8. The produced images were converted to NIfTI (Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) format, which is suitable for image processing. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.g005, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0142190.t002, To find the f constant for tumor growth without therapy (Phase I), first reliable tumor volume values had to be found, since there was no MRI measurement in Phase I. Beside tumor diameters, tumor mass was measured and vascularization area was calculated in the case of the removed tumors. & Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper. 55, 11761180 (1995). Sci Rep. 2022 Dec 26;12(1):22336. doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-25258-3. Breast cancer measurements with magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and mammography. 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). Before YH29407 with anti-PD-1 ameliorates anti-tumor effects. The volume above the red area is not occupied by the tumor, as seen in Figure 8. In Phase IV, the first measurement occurred when the tumors have reached an average volume of 5060 mm3 (according to the xenograft protocol [20]). Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies Tumor volume was measured regularly using a Mitutoyo caliper and calculated as: tumor volume = (length width 2 )/2 [26, 27]. Tumor size was measured every 3 days using a digital caliper and computed according to the ellipsoidal calculation formula: V . Tumor volume was measured with digital caliper. 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). 105, 2023 (1983). Mice in Phase I and Phase IV control group received no bevacizumab. 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. 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). In both cases, three groups were compared in the experiments. Additionally, we explore the impact of six different tumour . McCormick, D.L., Adamowski, C.B., Fiks, A. Cell Rep Med. Thus, caliper-based measurements are less accurate the more the height of the stack deviates from its width. 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. Traditionally their volume growth has been monitored by using a mechanical caliper. Experimentally induced mammary tumors in rats. The results presented here were provided by them.
