Growth and magnetic resonance characteristics of a human squamous cell carcinoma SQ20B were studiedin vivoas xenografts in nu/nu nude mice. Tumor cells injected subcutaneously in the flank using either MatrigelTM(MTG, an extract of basement membrane proteins) or growth medium (GM) as a vehicle were compared. Much higher tumor growth rates and cell density were observed with MatrigelTMthan with GM implantation. Histology also showed that MTG implanted cells grew as vascularized solid tumors compared to GM tumors which formed cysts. As a result of increased cell density with the improved method, tumors as small as 0.3 cm3provide high S/N magnetic resonance spectra which yield smaller standard deviations with fewer experiments.
