Accurate measurement of extra cellular pH (pHe) in
tumour may offer valuable information regarding cell
viability and therapeutic response. In this work, 750
MHz CW-EPR spectroscopy was used to assess pHe of C3H
HeJ mice hind leg squamous cell tumour after
intra-venous tail vein injection during stages of normal
tumour growth, and in response to a single 10 Gy dose of
X-ray irradiation. Through measurement of the hyperfine
coupling constant, an inverse relationship was observed
between tumour pHe and volume, with an accuracy of less
than 0.1pH units. This relationship was disrupted by a
single 10 Gy radiotherapy dose.
