Metronomic chemotherapy is a promising method that delivers chemotherapy in low, frequent doses and has been shown to demonstrate superior response over traditional chemotherapy in some cases. There is a need to develop mouse models and techniques for evaluating dose and scheduling of metronomic chemotherapy to optimize its usage and benefits. In this study, we investigate the use of DCE-MRI and DWI to evaluate metronomic chemotherapy of BALB/c mice with implanted 4T1 mouse mammary tumor cells. Our data suggests this may be a good model for advanced breast cancer and that ADC values may be sensitive to early therapy response.
