Non-invasive prognostic biomarkers promise new insights
into tumor pathophysiology potentially allowing therapy
to be optimized. Notably hypoxia influences radiation
responses and Oxygen sensitive MRI (BOLD and TOLD) are
sensitive to tissue oxygenation. This study further
explores relationships between R1, R2* of rat prostate
tumors with respect to oxygen breathing challenge and
the tumor growth delay induced by a split dose radiation
regimen. Oxygen breathing was found to enhance tumor
growth delay and correlations were found with R1 and R2*
assessed before the first dose of radiation.
