The usefulness of a synchrotron microangiography system for depicting, quantitating and therapeutically evaluating angiogenic vessels in cancer is illustrated. In 20 mice transplanted with murine colon cancer, sequential changes in the angiogenic vessels were determined by using synchrotron microangiography, using changes in tumor volume for reference. This system allowed the depiction and quantification of angiogenic vessels in the period from one to four weeks after transplantation. The effects of antiangiogenic therapy were evaluated by using a neutralizing antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor. The neutralizing antibody partially suppressed angiogenesis and tumor growth. Synchrotron microangiography is shown to be useful for the depiction, quantification and evaluation of angiogenic vessels in cancer.
