Assessment of Tumor Response in Mice with Ovarian Peritoneal Carcinomatosis using Doppler Ultrasound of the Superior Mesenteric Artery and Celiac Trunk.

Abstract The goal of the work described here was to assess the performance of Doppler ultrasound (US) of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and celiac trunk (CT) in the evaluation of tumor response in female mice with ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis treated either with bevacizumab or with carboplatin. Compared with untreated mice, carboplatin-treated mice had a lower weight (23.3 ± 2.0 vs. 27.9 ± 2.9 g, p
