Multi-modality imaging to assess metabolic response to dichloroacetate treatment in tumor models
Reverting glycolytic metabolism is an attractive strategy for cancer therapy as upregulated glycolysis is a hallmark in various cancers. Dichloroacetate (DCA), long used to treat lactic acidosis in various pathologies, has emerged as a promising anti-cancer drug. By inhibiting the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, DCA reactivates the mitochondrial function and decreases the glycolytic flux in tumo...
متن کاملMetabolic Imaging to Assess Treatment Response to Cytotoxic and Cytostatic Agents
For several decades, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents were considered the basis of anticancer treatment for patients with metastatic tumors. A decrease in tumor burden, assessed by volumetric computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST), was considered as a radiological response to cytotoxic chemotherapies. In additi...

متن کاملMulti-modality imaging of pheochromocytoma
Pheochromocytoma, a rare neuroendocrine adrenal tumor, is often diagnosed by a combination of clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features. While the imaging features of this entity are variable, the use of complementary modalities often helps to target the diagnosis and assess the extent of the disease. We present a multi-modality evaluation of a pheochromocytoma, with CT, MR, MIBG, and pat...
متن کاملMulti-modality compressed breast imaging
ABSTRACT Measurement of breast tissue response to external stimulation has the potential to unveil additional dynamic biomarkers of disease states. Recently tumor contrast generated by breathing-gas induced vascular changes has been demonstrated using both BOLD imaging [1] and MRIguided near infrared diffuse optical tomography [2]. At the same time, in the biomedical optics community, temporall...
