Abstract
In this work, murine xenografts of pancreatic cancer cell lines AsPC-1 and Mia PaCa-2 were used to investigate vascularization, oxygenation, and the effect of sunitinib treatment on pancreatic cancer. Ultrasound-guided photoacoustic imaging (US-PAI) at multiple wavelengths was utilized to study the tumor vascular networks, throughout the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib treatment. The 3D photoacoustic data was fluence compensated and spectrally unmixed to acquire the parameters of blood oxygen saturation (StO2) and total hemoglobin concentration (HbT). A custom regional segmentation algorithm was applied to the volumetric HbT images to segment the tumor volume into areas of high vascular density and low vascular density. Regionally evaluating the changes in StO2 and HbT reveals that sunitinib is preferentially targeting areas of low vascular density.
