We used hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate imaging to monitor tumor progression
and regression in a murine breast cancer model that conditionally expresses the
human c-MYC transgene in a
doxycycline switchable manner. Previously, it was shown that this model could
develop a secondary tumor even after the primary tumor regresses nearly fully following
c-MYC deinduction. Hence, the purpose of this project was to
monitor altered glycolytic metabolism by hyperpolarized metabolic MRI in this
multi-stage mammary tumorigenesis animal model.
