Abstract

Three oxygen-sensitive parameters (arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation SaO 2, tumor vascular oxygenated hemoglobin concentration [HbO 2], and tumor oxygen tension pO 2) were measured simultaneously by three different optical techniques (pulse oximeter, near infrared spectroscopy, and FOXY™) to evaluate dynamic responses of breast tumors to carbogen (5% CO 2 and 95% O 2) intervention. All three parameters displayed similar trends in dynamic response to carbogen challenge, but with different response times. These response times were quantified by the time constants of the exponential fitting curves, revealing the immediate and the fastest response from the arterial SaO 2, followed by changes in global tumor vascular [HbO 2], and delayed responses for pO 2. The consistency of the three oxygen-sensitive parameters demonstrated the ability of NIRS to monitor therapeutic interventions for rat breast tumors in-vivo in real time.
