| Abstract |
Antiangiogenic treatments have been shown to increase blood perfusion and oxygenation in some experimental tumors, and to reduce blood perfusion and induce hypoxia in others. The purpose of this preclinical study was to investigate the potential of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI) in assessing early effects of low dose bevacizumab treatment, and to investigate intratumor heterogeneity in this effect. A-07 and R-18 human melanoma xenografts, showing high and low expression of VEGF-A, respectively, were used as tumor models. Untreated and bevacizumab-treated tumors were subjected to DCE-MRI and DW-MRI before treatment, and twice during a 7-days treatment period. Tumor images of K (trans) (the volume transfer constant of Gd-DOTA) and v e (the fractional distribution volume of Gd-DOTA) were produced by pharmacokinetic analysis of the DCE-MRI data, and tumor images of ADC (the apparent diffusion coefficient) were produced from DW-MRI data. Untreated A-07 tumors showed higher K (trans), v e, and ADC values than untreated R-18 tumors. Untreated tumors showed radial heterogeneity in K (trans), i.e., K (trans) was low in central tumor regions and increased gradually towards the tumor periphery. After the treatment, bevacizumab-treated A-07 tumors showed lower K (trans) values than untreated A-07 tumors. Peripherial tumor regions showed substantial reductions in K (trans), whereas little or no effect was seen in central regions. Consequently, the treatment altered the radial heterogeneity in K (trans). In R-18 tumors, significant changes in K (trans) were not observed. Treatment induced changes in tumor size, v e, and ADC were not seen in any of the tumor lines. Early effects of low dose bevacizumab treatment may be highly heterogeneous within tumors and can be detected with DCE-MRI. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 November 2015.
All research outputs
#18,430,915
of 22,833,393 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#5,427
of 8,306 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#201,995
of 281,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#168
of 272 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,833,393 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,306 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 281,503 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 272 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
