Oxygen breathing challenge- the simplest theranostic

Theranostics. 2017 Aug 31;7(16):3873-3875. doi: 10.7150/thno.20655. eCollection 2017.

Abstract

Multispectral optoacoustic tomography provides insights into tumor vascular oxygenation with high temporal and spatial resolution non-invasively. New work indicates that a simple oxygen breathing challenge can reveal differences in tumor, potentially as a prognostic biomarker.

Keywords: oxygen; pathophysiology; photoacoustic tomography; prostate cancer.
