What’s New in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy

چکیده
The Animal Cancer Care and Research Program (ACCR) was established at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) in 2007. This program is built as a partnership between the CVM and the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota to devote the necessary resources to reduce the burden caused by cancer in companion animals and humans alike. The ACCR includes more than 50 faculty members from the CVM and other units of the University of Minnesota Academic Health Center whose shared vision is to create a world where we no longer fear cancer. We believe we will achieve this through rigorous and creative research, training, and translation of discovery from the laboratory to the clinic.

Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM 138) xenografts. These agents showed a high relaxivity because of their greater potential to coordinate water molecules. The reduction of T1 relaxation times of 16 and 21% was observed i...
