Tumor hypoxia is a major barrier to tumor radiation therapy. Typically tumor hypoxia occurs in two forms: chronic and acute. Although the existence of acute hypoxia has long been acknowledged, its temporal characteristics have never been directly measured and documented. In this study tumor Po-2, blood flow (BF), and arterial blood pressure (BP) were measured simultaneously in nine Fischer 344 rats bearing R3230Ac rat mammary adenocarcinomas in the subcutis of the left hindleg. We measured Po-2 at a single location for 36-125 min using recessed-tip oxygen microelectrodes. Simultaneously, we measured tumor BF at two sites within the tumor using laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF). Similar recordings were made in the quadriceps muscle of seven non-tumor-bearing rats. The Po-2, tumor BF, and BP records were subjected to Fourier analysis. Po-2 and BF showed low-frequency fluctuations (
