Abstract
We used diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to assess the effects of different radiation therapy doses on tumor microenvironment. We injected 4T1 cells into the flanks of 25 mice to develop tumor xenografts, and randomly distributed the animals into control and radiation groups, which received a dose of either 1, 2, or 4 Gy. Treatment started when tumors reached a volume of 200 mm3. DRS measurements were obtained prior to and 1 hour after radiation on the five days of treatment, and once a day thereafter. Our data demonstrates that DRS is sensitive to tumor microenvironmental changes after low doses of radiation.
