Interim Phase II Results Using Panitumumab-IRDye800CW during Transoral Robotic Surgery in Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer. Clin Cancer Res 2024; 30:4016-4028. [PMID: 39012279 PMCID: PMC11398989 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-24-0940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has continually increased during the past several decades. Using transoral robotic surgery (TORS) significantly improves functional outcomes relative to open surgery for OPSCC. However, TORS limits tactile feedback, which is often the most important element of cancer surgery. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) strategies to aid surgeon assessment of malignancy for resection are in various phases of clinical research but exhibit the greatest potential impact for improving patient care when the surgeon receives limited tactile feedback, such as during TORS. Here, we assessed the feasibility of intraoperative fluorescence imaging using panitumumab-IRDye800CW (PAN800) during TORS in patients with OPSCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve consecutive patients with OPSCC were enrolled as part of a nonrandomized, prospective, phase II FGS clinical trial using PAN800. TORS was performed with an integrated robot camera for surgeon assessment of fluorescence. Intraoperative and ex vivo fluorescence signals in tumors and normal tissue were quantified and correlated with histopathology. RESULTS Intraoperative robot fluorescence views delineated OPSCC from normal tissue throughout the TORS procedure (10.7 mean tumor-to-background ratio), including in tumors with low expression of the molecular target. Tumor-specific fluorescence was consistent with surgeon-defined tumor borders requiring resection. Intraoperative robot fluorescence imaging revealed an OPSCC fragment initially overlooked during TORS based on brightfield views, further substantiating the clinical benefit of this FGS approach. CONCLUSIONS The results from this patient with OPSCC cohort support further clinical assessment of FGS during TORS to aid resection of solid tumors.

Abstract
Gliomas remain challenging brain tumors to treat due to their infiltrative nature. Accurately identifying tumor boundaries during surgery is crucial for successful resection. This study introduces an innovative intraoperative visualization method utilizing surgical fluorescence microscopy to precisely locate tumor cell dissemination. Here, the focus is on the development of a novel contrasting agent (IR-Glint) for intraoperative visualization of human glial tumors comprising infrared-labeled Glint aptamers. The specificity of IR-Glint is assessed using flow cytometry and microscopy on primary cell cultures. In vivo effectiveness is studied on mouse and rabbit models, employing orthotopic xenotransplantation of human brain gliomas with various imaging techniques, including PET/CT, in vivo fluorescence visualization, confocal laser scanning, and surgical microscopy. The experiments validate the potential of IR-Glint for the intraoperative visualization of gliomas using infrared imaging. IR-Glint penetrates the blood-brain barrier and can be used for both intravenous and surface applications, allowing clear visualization of the tumor. The surface application directly to the brain reduces the dosage required and mitigates potential toxic effects on the patient. The research shows the potential of infrared dye-labeled aptamers for accurately visualizing glial tumors during brain surgery. This novel aptamer-assisted fluorescence-guided surgery (AptaFGS) may pave the way for future advancements in the field of neurosurgery.

Abstract
Despite recent advancements in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, the prognosis remains unfavorable primarily due to high recurrence and liver metastasis rates. Fluorescence molecular imaging technologies, combined with specific probes, have gained prominence in facilitating real-time tumor resection guided by fluorescence. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is overexpressed in CRC, but the advancement of HGF fluorescent probes has been impeded by the absence of effective HGF-targeting small-molecular ligands. Herein, we present the targeted capabilities of the novel V-1-GGGK-MPA probe labeled with a near-infrared fluorescent dye, which targets HGF in CRC. The V-1-GGGK peptide exhibits high specificity and selectivity for HGF-positive in vitro tumor cells and in vivo tumors. Biodistribution analysis of V-1-GGGK-MPA revealed tumor-specific accumulation with low background uptake, yielding signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values of tumor-to-colorectal >6 in multiple subcutaneous CRC models 12 h postinjection. Quantitative analysis confirmed the probe's high uptake in SW480 and HT29 orthotopic and liver metastatic models, with SNR values of tumor-to-colorectal and -liver being 5.6 ± 0.4, 4.6 ± 0.5, and 2.1 ± 0.3, 2.0 ± 0.5, respectively, enabling precise tumor visualization for surgical navigation. Pathological analysis demonstrated the excellent tumor boundaries discrimination capacity of the V-1-GGGK-MPA probe at the molecular level. With its rapid tumor targeting, sustained tumor retention, and precise tumor boundary delineation, V-1-GGGK-MPA merges as a promising HGF imaging agent, enriching the toolbox of intraoperative navigational fluorescent probes for CRC.

Abstract
Despite advancements in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, the prognosis remains unfavorable for patients with distant liver metastasis. Fluorescence molecular imaging with specific probes is increasingly used to guide CRC surgical resection in real-time and treatment planning. Here, we demonstrate the targeted imaging capacity of an MPA-PEG4-N3-Ang II probe labeled with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye targeting the angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AGTR1) that is significantly upregulated in CRC. MPA-PEG4-N3-Ang II was highly selective and specific to in vitro tumor cells and in vivo tumors in a mouse CRC xenograft model. The favorable ex vivo imaging and in vivo biodistribution of MPA-PEG4-N3-Ang II afforded tumor-specific accumulation with low background and >10 contrast tumor-to-colorectal values in multiple subcutaneous CRC models at 8 h following injection. Biodistribution analysis confirmed the probe's high uptake in HT29 and HCT116 orthotopic and liver metastatic models of CRC with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values of tumor-to-colorectal and -liver fluorescence of 5.8 ± 0.6, 5.3 ± 0.7, and 2.7 ± 0.5, 2.6 ± 0.5, respectively, enabling high-contrast intraoperative tumor visualization for surgical navigation. Given its rapid tumor targeting, precise tumor boundary delineation, durable tumor retention and docking study, MPA-PEG4-N3-Ang II is a promising high-contrast imaging agent for the clinical detection of CRC.

Abstract
Significance Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has a particularly poor prognosis. Improving the surgical resection boundary, reducing local recurrence, and ultimately ameliorating the overall survival rate are the treatment goals. Aim To obtain a complete surgical resection (R0 resection), we investigated the use of a fluorescent imaging probe that targets the integrin subtype α v β 6 , which is upregulated in many kinds of epithelial cancer, using animal models. Approach α v β 6 expression was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunoprotein blotting of human tissues for malignancy. Protein expression localization was observed. α v β 6 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were quantified by PCR and immunoprotein blotting, and the biosafety of targeting the α v β 6 probe material was examined using Cell Counting Kit-8 assays. Indocyanine green (ICG) was used as a control to determine the localization of the probe at the cellular level. In vivo animal experiments were conducted through tail vein injections to evaluate the probe's imaging effect and to confirm its targeting in tissue sections. Results α v β 6 expression was higher than EGFR expression in HNSCC, and the probe showed good targeting in in vivo and in vitro experiments with a good safety profile. Conclusions The ICG-α v β 6 peptide probe is an exceptional and sensitive imaging tool for HNSCC that can distinguish among tumor, normal, and inflammatory tissues.

Abstract
Surgical resections of solid tumors guided by visual inspection of tumor margins have been performed for over a century to treat cancer. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence labeling/imaging of tumor in the NIR-I (800 to 900 nm) range with systemically administrated fluorophore/tumor-targeting antibody conjugates have been introduced to improve tumor margin delineation, tumor removal accuracy, and patient survival. Here, we show Au25 molecular clusters functionalized with phosphorylcholine ligands (AuPC, ~2 nm in size) as a preclinical intratumorally injectable agent for NIR-II/SWIR (1,000 to 3,000 nm) fluorescence imaging-guided tumor resection. The AuPC clusters were found to be uniformly distributed in the 4T1 murine breast cancer tumor upon intratumor (i.t.) injection. The phosphocholine coating afforded highly stealth clusters, allowing a high percentage of AuPC to fill the tumor interstitial fluid space homogeneously. Intra-operative surgical navigation guided by imaging of the NIR-II fluorescence of AuPC allowed for complete and non-excessive tumor resection. The AuPC in tumors were also employed as a photothermal therapy (PTT) agent to uniformly heat up and eradicate tumors. Further, we performed in vivo NIR-IIb (1,500 to 1,700 nm) molecular imaging of the treated tumor using a quantum dot-Annexin V (QD-P3-Anx V) conjugate, revealing cancer cell apoptosis following PTT. The therapeutic functionalities of AuPC clusters combined with rapid renal excretion, high biocompatibility, and safety make them promising for clinical translation.

Abstract
Background The preclinical diagnosis of tumors is of great significance to cancer treatment. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology is promising for the in-situ detection of tumors with high sensitivity. Methods Here, a fluorescent probe was synthesized on the basis of Au nanoclusters with near-infrared light emission and applied to fluorescent cancer cell labeling. Near-infrared methionine-N-Hydroxy succinimide Au nanoclusters (Met-NHs-AuNCs) were prepared successfully by one-pot synthesis using Au nanoclusters, methionine, and N-Hydroxy succinimide as frameworks, reductants, and stabilizers, respectively. The specific fluorescence imaging of tumor cells or tissues by fluorescent probe was studied on the basis of SYBYL Surflex-DOCK simulation model of LAT1 active site of overexpressed receptor on cancer cell surface. The results showed that Met-NHs-AuNCs interacted with the surface of LAT1, and C_Score scored the conformation of the probe and LAT1 as five. Results Characterization and in vitro experiments were conducted to explore the Met-NHs-AuNCs targeted uptake of cancer cells. The prepared near-infrared fluorescent probe (Met-NHs-AuNCs) can specifically recognize the overexpression of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) in cancer cells so that it can show red fluorescence in cancer cells. Meanwhile, normal cells (H9c2) have no fluorescence. Conclusion The fluorescent probe demonstrates the power of targeting and imaging cancer cells.

HSA-ZW800-PEG for Enhanced Optophysical Stability and Tumor Targeting. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:559.

Abstract
Small molecule fluorophores often face challenges such as short blood half-life, limited physicochemical and optical stability, and poor pharmacokinetics. To overcome these limitations, we conjugated the zwitterionic near-infrared fluorophore ZW800-PEG to human serum albumin (HSA), creating HSA-ZW800-PEG. This conjugation notably improves chemical, physical, and optical stability under physiological conditions, addressing issues commonly encountered with small molecules in biological applications. Additionally, the high molecular weight and extinction coefficient of HSA-ZW800-PEG enhances biodistribution and tumor targeting through the enhanced permeability and retention effect. The unique distribution and elimination dynamics, along with the significantly extended blood half-life of HSA-ZW800-PEG, contribute to improved tumor targetability in both subcutaneous and orthotopic xenograft tumor-bearing animal models. This modification not only influences the pharmacokinetic profile, affecting retention time and clearance patterns, but also enhances bioavailability for targeting tissues. Our study guides further development and optimization of targeted imaging agents and drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of fluorescent contrast agents for clinical applications. For the development of a fluorescent probe, it is crucial to evaluate its safety profile, including biodistribution. Specific methods need to be developed for the absolute quantification of fluorescent probes in tissue specimens from animals administered with test compounds in the framework of biodistribution/efficacy/toxicity studies. Here, we describe a new method for the absolute quantification of fluorescent probes in tissue specimens from animals administered with compounds that have absorption and emission wavelength in the Near-Infrared region (600-800 nm). The protocol is based on the standard addition approach in order to minimize the interference of the matrix on the analyte signal causing inaccuracy in the absolute determination of the concentration. The measurement of the fluorescence intensity is done via a microplate reader. The method has been fully validated and applied for the quantification of a fluorescence-guided surgery targeted contrast agent in a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) biodistribution study. Results clearly demonstrate that this procedure is fully applicable in a preclinical setting and that it overcomes common issues associated with fluorescence signal quantification in tissue extracts.

Abstract
Optical imaging involves the propagation of light through tissue. Current optical breast imaging technologies, including diffuse optical spectroscopy, diffuse optical tomography, and photoacoustic imaging, capitalize on the selective absorption of light in the near-infrared spectrum by deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin. They provide information on the morphological and functional characteristics of different tissues based on their varied interactions with light, including physiologic information on lesion vascular content and anatomic information on tissue vascularity. Fluorescent contrast agents, such as indocyanine green, are used to visualize specific tissues, molecules, or proteins depending on how and where the agent accumulates. In this review, we describe the physical principles, spectrum of technologies, and clinical applications of the most common optical systems currently being used or developed for breast imaging. Most notably, US co-registered photoacoustic imaging and US-guided diffuse optical tomography have demonstrated efficacy in differentiating benign from malignant breast masses, thereby improving the specificity of diagnostic imaging. Diffuse optical tomography and diffuse optical spectroscopy have shown promise in assessing treatment response to preoperative systemic therapy, and photoacoustic imaging and diffuse optical tomography may help predict tumor phenotype. Lastly, fluorescent imaging using indocyanine green dye performs comparably to radioisotope mapping of sentinel lymph nodes and appears to improve the outcomes of autologous tissue flap breast reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite significant improvements in preoperative workup and surgical planning, surgeons often rely on their eyes and hands during surgery. Although this can be sufficient in some patients, intraoperative guidance is highly desirable. Near-infrared fluorescence has been advocated as a potential technique to guide surgeons during surgery. METHODS A literature search was conducted to identify relevant articles for fluorescence-guided surgery. The literature search was performed using Medical Subject Headings on PubMed for articles in English until November 2022 and a narrative review undertaken. RESULTS The use of invisible light, enabling real-time imaging, superior penetration depth, and the possibility to use targeted imaging agents, makes this optical imaging technique increasingly popular. Four main indications are described in this review: tissue perfusion, lymph node assessment, anatomy of vital structures, and tumour tissue imaging. Furthermore, this review provides an overview of future opportunities in the field of fluorescence-guided surgery. CONCLUSION Fluorescence-guided surgery has proven to be a widely innovative technique applicable in many fields of surgery. The potential indications for its use are diverse and can be combined. The big challenge for the future will be in bringing experimental fluorophores and conjugates through trials and into clinical practice, as well as validation of computer visualization with large data sets. This will require collaborative surgical groups focusing on utility, efficacy, and outcomes for these techniques.

Abstract
The primary treatment for malignant tumors remains to be surgical removal of the diseased tissue. The presence or absence of residual diseased tissue at the tumor margin is the strongest predictor of postoperative prognosis and recurrence. Accordingly, reliance on the ability of surgeons to visually distinguish diseased tissue from healthy tissue unambiguously in real time is crucial. Near infrared-I (NIRI) fluorescence-emitting targeting biomolecular constructs such as anticancer antibody-fluorophore conjugates, namely cetuximab-IRDye® 800CW (CTB-IRDye® 800CW), are FDA-approved for clinical trial usage in the fluorescence-guided resection of diseased tissue due to affording improved direct visualization of tumor tissue when compared to the use of either the unaided eye under standard white light illumination (WLI) surgical techniques or non-targeting fluorophores. Unfortunately, though helpful, CTB-IRDye® 800CW affords limited (i) identification of diseased tissue and (ii) tumor margin delineation, because the immunoconjugate generates suboptimal tumor-to-background ratios (TBRs) as a result of its spectral/photophysical profiles poorly aligning with the fixed optical windows of pre-/clinical setups. As such, CTB-IRDye® 800CW is more prone to affording incomplete resection compared to if TBRs were higher due to otherwise. To aid in accurately identifying deep-seated diseased tissue, photoacoustic (PA) tomography has been implemented alongside CTB-IRDye® 800CW to achieve PA signals that could result in higher TBRs. However, in clinical trial practice, using IRDye® 800CW for PA imaging also yields subpar TBRs due to it affording low PA signals. To overcome such limitations, we developed NIRDye 812, a structurally-modified topological equivalent of IRDye® 800CW, to confer it the capability to yield both higher TBRs and superior PA signal than that of the equivalent CTB-conjugate and fluorophore IRDye® 800CW itself, respectively. To do so, we substituted the oxygen atom at its meso-position with a sulfur atom. CTB-NIRDye 812 demonstrated a red-shifted absorption wavelength at 796 nm and a peak NIR-I fluorescence emission wavelength at 820 nm, which better dovetails with the fixed windows of preinstalled fixed emission filters within commercial pre-/clinical NIR-I fluorescence imaging instruments. Overall, CTB-NIRDye 812 provided a ∼ 2-fold increase in TBRs compared to those of CTB-IRDye® 800CW in vivo. Also, NIRDye 812 displayed an ∼60% higher PA signal than that of IRDye® 800CW. Collectively, we achieved our goal of improving upon the spectral/photophysical and PA properties of IRDye® 800CW via introducing a subtle modification to its electronic core such that its CTB immunoconjugate could potentially allow for fast track or breakthrough designation by the FDA due to its near-identical structure displaying considerably improved efficacy.

Abstract
The past decades have shown significant advancements in the development of solid tumor treatment. For instance, implementation of nanosystems for drug delivery has led to a reduction in side effects and improved delivery to the tumor region. However, clinical translation has faced challenges, as tumor drug levels are still considered to be inadequate. Interdisciplinary research has resulted in the development of more advanced drug delivery systems. These are coined "smart" due to the ability to be followed and actively manipulated in order to have better control over local drug release. Therefore, image-guided drug delivery can be a powerful strategy to improve drug activity at the target site. Being able to visualize the inflow of the administered smart nanosystem within the tumor gives the potential to determine the right moment to apply the facilitator to initiate drug release. Here we provide an overview of available nanosystems, imaging moieties, and imaging techniques. We discuss preclinical application of these smart drug delivery systems, the strength of image-guided drug delivery, and the future of personalized treatment.

Abstract
Over the last decade, a series of synergistic advances in the synthesis chemistries and imaging instruments have largely boosted a significant revolution, in which large-scale biomedical applications are now benefiting from optical bioimaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm). The large tissue penetration and limited autofluorescence associated with long-wavelength imaging improve translational potential of NIR-II imaging over common visible-light (400-650 nm) and NIR-I (750-900 nm) imaging, with ongoing profound effects on the studies of precision medicine. Unfortunately, the majority of NIR-II probes are designed as "always-on" luminescent imaging contrasts, continuously generating unspecific signals regardless of whether they reach pathological locations. Thus, in vivo imaging by traditional NIR-II probes usually suffers from weak detect precision due to high background noise. In this context, the advances of optical imaging now enter into an era of precise control of NIR-II photophysical kinetics. Developing NIR-II optical probes that can efficiently activate their luminescent signal in response to biological targets of interest and substantially suppress the background interferences have become a highly prospective research frontier. In this review, the merits and demerits of optical imaging probes from visible-light, NIR-I to NIR-II windows are carefully discussed along with the lens of stimuli-responsive photophysical kinetics. We then highlight the latest development in engineering methods for designing smart NIR-II optical probes. Finally, to appreciate such advances, challenges and prospect in rapidly growing study of smart NIR-II probes are addressed in this review.

[PMID: 36435503 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.122432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy is often accompanied by severe off-target effects that both damage quality of life and can decrease therapeutic compliance. This could be minimized through selective delivery of cytotoxic agents directly to the cancer cells. This would decrease the drug dose, consequently minimizing side effects and cost. With this goal in mind, a dual-gated folate-functionalized nanodiamond drug delivery system (NPFSSD) for doxorubicin with activatable fluorescence and cytotoxicity has been prepared. Both the cytotoxic activity and the fluorescence of doxorubicin (DOX) are quenched when it is covalently immobilized on the nanodiamond. The NPFSSD is preferentially uptaken by cancer cells overexpressing the folate receptor. Then, once inside a cell, the drug is preferentially released within tumor cells due to their high levels of endogenous of glutathione, required for releasing DOX through cleavage of a disulfide linker. Interestingly, once free DOX is loaded onto the nanodiamond, it can also evade resistance mechanisms that use protein pumps to remove drugs from the cytoplasm. This nanodrug, used in an in vivo model with local injection of drugs, effectively inhibits tumor growth with fewer side effects than direct injection of free DOX, providing a potentially powerful platform to improve therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Quantifying solid tumor margins with fluorescence-guided surgery approaches is a challenge, particularly when using near infrared (NIR) wavelengths due to increased penetration depths. An NIR dual wavelength excitation fluorescence (DWEF) approach was developed that capitalizes on the wavelength-dependent attenuation of light in tissue to determine fluorophore depth. A portable dual wavelength excitation fluorescence imaging system was built and tested in parallel with an NIR tumor-targeting fluorophore in tissue mimicking phantoms, chicken tissue, and in vivo mouse models of breast cancer. The system showed high accuracy in all experiments. The low cost and simplicity of this approach make it ideal for clinical use.

Abstract
Fluorescent-intraoperative navigation is a visual technique that allows surgeons to accurately distinguish malignant and normal tissues during surgery. It has the advantages of immediacy, high resolution, and high specificity. However, a single fluorescent source cannot provide sufficient surgical information. Multicolour carbon dots (CDs) are more suitable since they provide outstanding water solubility, photostability, and multicolour-fluorescence imaging. Here, we prepared an optical probe with CD-based multicolour-fluorescence imaging via a hydrothermal method. CDs can be endocytosed by tumour cells, and after intravenous injection, they can effectively accumulate at the tumour site. In a pancreatic cancer mouse model, we demonstrated the multicolour-fluorescence imaging capabilities of CDs, which aided the accurate resection of tumours under fluorescent-intraoperative navigation. Stereoscopic fluorescence microscopy imaging and H&E staining proved that the removed tissue belonged to the pancreatic tumour. This study emphasizes the potential of CDs for fluorescence-guided intraoperative resection and expands the application of CDs in biological fields.

Abstract
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are abnormally high expressed in various cancers and play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. While HDAC-targeted inhibitors have been rapidly developed and approved in the last twenty years, noninvasive monitoring and visualizing the expression levels of HDACs in tumor tissues might help to early diagnosis in cancer and predict the response to HDAC-targeted cancer therapy. In this review, we summarize the recent advancements in the development of HDAC-targeted probes and their applications in cancer imaging and image-guided surgery. We also discuss the design strategies, advantages and disadvantages of these probes. We hope that this review will provide guidance for the design of HDAC-targeted imaging probes and clinical applications in future.

Abstract
For patients diagnosed with advanced and unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver transplantation remains the best option to extend life. Challenges with organ supply often preclude liver transplantation, making palliative non-surgical options the default front-line treatments for many patients. Even with imaging guidance, success following treatment remains inconsistent and below expectations, so new approaches are needed. Imaging-guided thermal therapy interventions have emerged as attractive procedures that offer individualized tumor targeting with the potential for the selective targeting of tumor nodules without impairing liver function. Furthermore, imaging-guided thermal therapy with added standard-of-care chemotherapies targeted to the liver tumor can directly reduce the overall dose and limit toxicities commonly seen with systemic administration. Effectiveness of non-ablative thermal therapy (hyperthermia) depends on the achieved thermal dose, defined as time-at-temperature, and leads to molecular dysfunction, cellular disruption, and eventual tissue destruction with vascular collapse. Hyperthermia therapy requires controlled heat transfer to the target either by in situ generation of the energy or its on-target conversion from an external radiative source. Magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) is a nanotechnology-based thermal therapy that exploits energy dissipation (heat) from the forced magnetic hysteresis of a magnetic colloid. MHT with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) requires the targeted deposition of MNPs into the tumor, followed by exposure of the region to an AMF. Emerging modalities such as magnetic particle imaging (MPI) offer additional prospects to develop fully integrated (theranostic) systems that are capable of providing diagnostic imaging, treatment planning, therapy execution, and post-treatment follow-up on a single platform. In this review, we focus on recent advances in image-guided MHT applications specific to liver cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Macropinocytosis serves as a highly conserved endocytotic process that has recently been shown as a critical mechanism by which RAS-transformed cells transport extracellular protein into intracellular amino acid pathways to support their unique metabolic needs. We developed NIR fluorescently labeled molecular imaging probes to monitor macropinocytosis-mediated uptake of albumin in a K-RAS-dependent manner. PROCEDURES Using western blot analysis, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry, albumin retention was characterized in vitro across several RAS-activated lung and pancreatic cancer cell lines. AF790-albumin was synthesized and administered to mice bearing K-RAS mutant xenograft tumors of H460 (K-RAS p.Q61H) and H358 (K-RAS p.G12C) non-small cell lung cancers on each flank. Mice were treated daily with 2 mg/kg of ARS-1620, a targeted RAS p.G12C inhibitor, for 2 days and imaged following each treatment. Subsequently, the mice were then treated daily with 10 mg/kg of amiloride, a general inhibitor of macropinocytosis, for 2 days and imaged. Intratumoral distribution of AF790-albumin was assessed in vivo using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging. RESULTS Albumin retention was observed as a function of K-RAS activity and macropinocytosis across several lung and pancreatic cancer cell lines. We documented that ARS-1620-induced inhibition of K-RAS activity or amiloride-mediated inhibition of macropinocytosis significantly reduced albumin uptake. Tumor retention in vivo of AF790-albumin was both RAS inhibition-dependent as well as abrogated by inhibition of macropinocytosis. CONCLUSIONS These data provide a novel approach using NIR-labeled human serum albumin to identify and monitor RAS-driven tumors as well as evaluate the on-target efficacy in vivo of inhibitors, such as ARS-1620.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the lack of visual discrepancy between malignant and surrounding normal tissue, current breast conserving surgery (BCS) is associated with a high re-excision rate. Due to the increasing cases of BCS, a novel method of complete tumour removal at the initial surgical resection is critically needed in the operating room to help optimize the surgical procedure and to confirm tumour-free edges. METHODS We developed a unique near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging probe, ICG-p28, composed of the clinically nontoxic tumour-targeting peptide p28 and the FDA-approved NIR dye indocyanine green (ICG). ICG-p28 was characterized in vitro and evaluated in multiple breast cancer animal models with appropriate control probes. Our experimental approach with multiple-validations and -blinded procedures was designed to determine whether ICG-p28 can accurately identify tumour margins in mimicked intraoperative settings. FINDINGS The in vivo kinetics were analysed to optimize settings for potential clinical use. Xenograft tumours stably expressing iRFP as a tumour marker showed significant colocalization with ICG-p28, but not ICG alone. Image-guided surgery with ICG-p28 showed an over 6.6 × 103-fold reduction in residual normalized tumour DNA at the margin site relative to control approaches (i.e., surgery with ICG or palpation/visible inspection alone), resulting in an improved tumour recurrence rate (92% specificity) in multiple breast cancer animal models independent of the receptor expression status. ICG-p28 allowed accurate identification of tumour cells in the margin to increase the complete resection rate. INTERPRETATION Our simple and cost-effective approach has translational potential and offers a new surgical procedure that enables surgeons to intraoperatively identify tumour margins in a real-time, 3D fashion and that notably improves overall outcomes by reducing re-excision rates.

Abstract
Fluorescence-guided surgery using tumour-targeted imaging agents has emerged over the past decade as a promising and effective method of intraoperative cancer detection. An impressive number of fluorescently labelled antibodies, peptides, particles and other molecules related to cancer hallmarks have been developed for the illumination of target lesions. New approaches are being implemented to translate these imaging agents into the clinic, although only a few have made it past early-phase clinical trials. For this translational process to succeed, target selection, imaging agents and their related detection systems and clinical implementation have to operate in perfect harmony to enable real-time intraoperative visualization that can benefit patients. Herein, we review key aspects of this imaging cascade and focus on imaging approaches and methods that have helped to shed new light onto the field of intraoperative fluorescence-guided cancer surgery with the singular goal of improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Peritoneal surface malignancies comprise a heterogeneous group of primary tumours, including peritoneal mesothelioma, and peritoneal metastases of other tumours, including ovarian, gastric, colorectal, appendicular or pancreatic cancers. The pathophysiology of peritoneal malignancy is complex and not fully understood. The two main hypotheses are the transformation of mesothelial cells (peritoneal primary tumour) and shedding of cells from a primary tumour with implantation of cells in the peritoneal cavity (peritoneal metastasis). Diagnosis is challenging and often requires modern imaging and interventional techniques, including surgical exploration. In the past decade, new treatments and multimodal strategies helped to improve patient survival and quality of life and the premise that peritoneal malignancies are fatal diseases has been dismissed as management strategies, including complete cytoreductive surgery embedded in perioperative systemic chemotherapy, can provide cure in selected patients. Furthermore, intraperitoneal chemotherapy has become an important part of combination treatments. Improving locoregional treatment delivery to enhance penetration to tumour nodules and reduce systemic uptake is one of the most active research areas. The current main challenges involve not only offering the best treatment option and developing intraperitoneal therapies that are equivalent to current systemic therapies but also defining the optimal treatment sequence according to primary tumour, disease extent and patient preferences. New imaging modalities, less invasive surgery, nanomedicines and targeted therapies are the basis for a new era of intraperitoneal therapy and are beginning to show encouraging outcomes.

Overview and Future Perspectives on Tumor-Targeted Positron Emission Tomography and Fluorescence Imaging of Pancreatic Cancer in the Era of Neoadjuvant Therapy. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:6088. [PMID: 34885196 PMCID: PMC8656821 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13236088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in the multimodal treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), overall survival remains poor with a 5-year cumulative survival of approximately 10%. Neoadjuvant (chemo- and/or radio-) therapy is increasingly incorporated in treatment strategies for patients with (borderline) resectable and locally advanced disease. Neoadjuvant therapy aims to improve radical resection rates by reducing tumor mass and (partial) encasement of important vascular structures, as well as eradicating occult micrometastases. Results from recent multicenter clinical trials evaluating this approach demonstrate prolonged survival and increased complete surgical resection rates (R0). Currently, tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy is monitored using computed tomography (CT) following the RECIST 1.1 criteria. Accurate assessment of neoadjuvant treatment response and tumor resectability is considered a major challenge, as current conventional imaging modalities provide limited accuracy and specificity for discrimination between necrosis, fibrosis, and remaining vital tumor tissue. As a consequence, resections with tumor-positive margins and subsequent early locoregional tumor recurrences are observed in a substantial number of patients following surgical resection with curative intent. Of these patients, up to 80% are diagnosed with recurrent disease after a median disease-free interval of merely 8 months. These numbers underline the urgent need to improve imaging modalities for more accurate assessment of therapy response and subsequent re-staging of disease, thereby aiming to optimize individual patient's treatment strategy. In cases of curative intent resection, additional intra-operative real-time guidance could aid surgeons during complex procedures and potentially reduce the rate of incomplete resections and early (locoregional) tumor recurrences. In recent years intraoperative imaging in cancer has made a shift towards tumor-specific molecular targeting. Several important molecular targets have been identified that show overexpression in PDAC, for example: CA19.9, CEA, EGFR, VEGFR/VEGF-A, uPA/uPAR, and various integrins. Tumor-targeted PET/CT combined with intraoperative fluorescence imaging, could provide valuable information for tumor detection and staging, therapy response evaluation with re-staging of disease and intraoperative guidance during surgical resection of PDAC. METHODS A literature search in the PubMed database and (inter)national trial registers was conducted, focusing on studies published over the last 15 years. Data and information of eligible articles regarding PET/CT as well as fluorescence imaging in PDAC were reviewed. Areas covered: This review covers the current strategies, obstacles, challenges, and developments in targeted tumor imaging, focusing on the feasibility and value of PET/CT and fluorescence imaging for integration in the work-up and treatment of PDAC. An overview is given of identified targets and their characteristics, as well as the available literature of conducted and ongoing clinical and preclinical trials evaluating PDAC-targeted nuclear and fluorescent tracers.

Abstract
The combination of cytotoxic amino-BODIPY dye and 2-phenyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolinone (3-HQ) derivatives into one molecule gave rise to selective activity against lymphoblastic or myeloid leukemia and the simultaneous disappearance of the cytotoxicity against normal cells. Both species' conjugation can be realized via a disulfide linker cleavable in the presence of glutathione characteristic for cancer cells. The cleavage liberating the free amino-BODIPY dye and 3-HQ derivative can be monitored by ratiometric fluorescence or by the OFF-ON effect of the amino-BODIPY dye. A similar cytotoxic activity is observed when the amino-BODIPY dye and 3-HQ derivative are connected through a non-cleavable maleimide linker. The work reports the synthesis of several conjugates, the study of their cleavage inside cells, and cytotoxic screening.

Introducing Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Pediatric Ewing, Osteo-, and Rhabdomyosarcomas: A Literature Review. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9101388.

Abstract
Sarcomas are a rare heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin which represent approximately 13% of all cancers in pediatric patients. The most prevalent pediatric bone sarcomas are osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing sarcoma (ES). Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most frequently occurring pediatric soft tissue sarcoma. The median age of OS and ES is approximately 17 years, so this disease is also commonly seen in adults while non-pleiomorphic RMS is rare in the adult population. The mainstay of all treatment regimens is multimodal treatment containing chemotherapy, surgical resection, and sometimes (neo)adjuvant radiotherapy. A clear resection margin improves both local control and overall survival and should be the goal during surgery with a curative intent. Real-time intraoperative fluorescence-guided imaging could facilitate complete resections by visualizing tumor tissue during surgery. This review evaluates whether non-targeted and targeted fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) could be beneficial for pediatric OS, ES, and RMS patients. Necessities for clinical implementation, current literature, and the positive as well as negative aspects of non-targeted FGS using the NIR dye Indocyanine Green (ICG) were evaluated. In addition, we provide an overview of targets that could potentially be used for FGS in OS, ES, and RMS. Then, due to the time- and cost-efficient translational perspective, we elaborate on the use of antibody-based tracers as well as their disadvantages and alternatives. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for the experiments needed before FGS can be implemented for pediatric OS, ES, and RMS patients.

Abstract
The lack of sensitive detection techniques and agents for early-stage tumors, which are characterized by small size, juvenile blood vessels and scarce secreted markers, has hampered timely cancer therapy and human well-being. Herein, the natural product pyropheophorbide-a (PPa) and FDA-approved Pluronic F127 are organized to develop F127-PPa nanomicelles with favorable size, red-shifted fluorescence and decent biocompatibility. After intravenous (i.v.) injection, the F127-PPa nanomicelles could not only accurately identify early-stage xenografted tumors, but also sensitively detect cancer metastasis in lungs through near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging. The fluorescence signals are consistent with radionuclide imaging, photoacoustic (PA) imaging and bioluminescence imaging of tumors, consolidating the reliability of using F127-PPa nanomicelles for sensitive cancer diagnosis in a non-invasive and low-cost manner. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity of small tumors is linearly correlated with the tumoral mass ranging from 10 to 120 mg with a fluorescence coefficient of 4.5 × 107 mg-1. Under the guidance of multimodal imaging, the tumors could be thoroughly eradicated by F127-PPa under laser irradiation due to efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. These findings may provide clinically translatable agents and strategies for sensitive diagnosis of early-stage tumors and timely cancer therapy.
