This report characterize the experimental transplantation of the canine transmissible venereal tumor in the brain, skin, muscle, prostate, lung, liver, and bone of dogs and provides X-ray computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the tumors.Abstract:
The canine transplantable venereal tumor is a naturally occurring transplantable round-cell tumor in dogs. Although experimental transplantable tumor models in rodents and rabbits are readily available, a reliable transplantable tumor model in a large animal that more closely resembles the physical dimensions of humans has not been available. A tumor model in a large animal would have a wide range of biomedical research applications, including the study of various interventional imaging techniques. In this report, we characterize the experimental transplantation of the canine transmissible venereal tumor in the brain, skin, muscle, prostate, lung, liver, and bone of dogs and provide X-ray computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the tumors in the brain, muscle, lung, and prostate.read more

TL;DR: A well circumscribed ablation zone with sharp boundaries between thermally ablated tumor in the center surrounded by viable tumor tissue is confirmed and the new 980-nm diode laser and internally cooled applicator effectively create large ellipsoid thermal ablations in less than 3 minutes.

Animal models of cancer in interventional radiology.
TL;DR: Animal models will play an increasingly important role in oncology research, especially for solid tumours such as hepatocellular carcinoma that are resistant to chemotherapy, and there is a need for increased awareness of the limitations of these models.

TL;DR: Combining the information of trans-rectal NIR and US detected the tumor more accurately than did the US alone at 14 days postinjection, and the regions of strong NIR contrast correlated well with those of US hypoechoic masses indicative of tumors.
