Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a heterogeneous
disease with a poor prognosis. Evaluation of metabolic
effects of anticancer therapies would enhance the
capability of non invasive imaging approaches to monitor
molecular mechanisms underlying tumour responsiveness.
Here we explore the role of MRI/MRS in the detection of
the cytotoxic response of trabectedin (ET-743, a new
marine-derived antitumor agent, which has shown in vitro
and in vivo activity in ovarian cancer) in experimental
EOC models, showing previously unexplored trabectedine-induced
metabolic and morphofunctional changes.
