Described herein are the initial findings from an 'in-magnet' P-31 NMR compatible hyperthermia system capable of concurrently heating and monitoring the metabolic response of murine tumours; the murine radiation induced fibrosarcoma (RIF-1) was employed for these studies. At thermal doses sufficient to raise tumour temperature to 41.5 and 43degreesC for a period of 30 min, a marked and rapid decrease in nucleoside triphosphate concentration and in pH was observed during the heating period, while inorganic phosphate concentration increased significantly but more gradually. These P-31 NMR determined metabolic indices remained depressed/elevated throughout a 1.5 h post-hyperthermia monitoring period. Importantly, these metabolic indices correlated significantly with specific growth delay. This suggests a possible role for NMR spectroscopy in early assessment, and perhaps control, of therapeutic response to hyperthermia.
