Dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (DCE-US) using the contrast agent Sonovue and vascular recognition imaging software is a novel technique that enables the detection of microvessels and quantitative assessment of solid tumor perfusion using raw linear data. Clinical trials have shown that DCE-US can be used to assess the anticancer efficacy of antiangiogenic treatment, for which conventional efficacy criteria based on size are unsuitable. Reduction in tumor vascularization can easily be detected in responders after 1-2 weeks and is correlated with progression-free survival and overall survival. DCE-US is supported by the French Cancer National Institut. This program is currently studying the technique in metastatic breast cancer, melanoma, colon cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and renal cell carcinoma, as well as in primary hepatocellular carcinoma, to establish the optimal perfusion parameters and timing for quantitative anticancer efficacy assessments.
使用造影剂声诺维及血管识别成像软件的动态对比增强超声检查(DCE-US)是一项新技术,它能够利用原始线性数据检测微血管并对实体瘤灌注进行定量评估。临床试验表明,DCE-US可用于评估抗血管生成治疗的抗癌疗效,而基于肿瘤大小的传统疗效标准并不适用于此。在1至2周后,很容易在有反应者中检测到肿瘤血管生成的减少,且这与无进展生存期和总生存期相关。DCE-US得到了法国国家癌症研究所的支持。该项目目前正在转移性乳腺癌、黑色素瘤、结肠癌、胃肠道间质瘤、肾细胞癌以及原发性肝细胞癌中研究该技术,以确定用于定量抗癌疗效评估的最佳灌注参数和时机。
