Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
(DCE-MRI) showed that tumor microvascular perfusion was
significantly suppressed by anti-EMMPRIN antibody alone
or in combination with X-radiation or cisplatin in head
and neck cancer mouse models. The early change of tumor
perfusion parameters following anti-EMMPRIN therapy
with/without cisplatin was significantly correlated with
the tumor volume change, proliferation cell density, and
microvessel density, but not when X-radiation treated
group was included. Therefore DCE-MRI may be used to
predict the therapeutic efficacy of anti-EMMPRIN
antibody with/without cisplatin, but not with
X-radiation.
