Significant inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity in in
vivo glucose metabolism as assayed by [U-13C] glucose
infusions exist in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
patient primary tumors. We believe
microenvironment-based advanced imaging methods can be
used as pre-operative markers for intraoperative tumor
fragment sampling to begin to study the magnitude of
non-cell autonomous regulation of lung tumor metabolism.
We demonstrate this proof of concept with DCE-MRI to
assay the effects of heterogeneity in tumoral perfusion
on both oxidative and non-oxidative NSCLC patient tumor
glucose metabolism.
