World Cancer Day is an international day marked on February 4th each year aiming to raise awareness about cancer, promote cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and support for individuals affected by cancer.
In vivo imaging systems play a crucial role in cancer research by allowing researchers to visualize and monitor biological processes within living organisms. In vivo imaging systems provide valuable information about tumor development, progression, and response to treatments.
Today, we'd like to highlight just some of the many ways in vivo imaging systems are accelerating cancer research.
In vivo imaging allows researchers to track the growth and progression of tumors over time. Serial imaging of the same animal provides longitudinal data, helping to understand the dynamics of tumor development and the effects of different interventions.
Researchers use in vivo imaging to evaluate the effectiveness of cancer treatments. For example, changes in tumor size and metabolic activity can be monitored over time to assess the response to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy.
In vivo imaging is commonly used in PDX models, where human tumors are implanted into mice. This allows researchers to study the behavior of patient-specific tumors in a living organism,
In vivo imaging is widely used in preclinical studies to evaluate the potential of new anti-cancer drugs. Researchers can assess the impact of experimental therapies on tumor biology and overall animal health.
In vivo imaging systems play a pivotal role in the multidisciplinary approach to cancer research and treatment, which is an important tool contribute to fight against cancer.
