Abstract: Objective:To study whether the changes of 31P MRS parameters of mouse S180 sarcoma treated by Taxol is earlier than the changes of tumor volume. Methods:Mouse S180 sarcoma (i.p.) was studied by using surface-coil 31P NMR. Results:After 48h following treatment, PCr/Pi and β-NTP/Pi ratios of treated groups are higher than those of control group (P <0.05), PME/β-NTP ratio of treated groups is lower than that of control group (P <0.05). The tumor volume between treated groups and control group showed no significant difference. Conclusion:31P MRS of mouse S180 sarcoma can offer not only quantitative information, but show also earlier response to therapy.
