Abstract
<p>PDF file - 137K, Effects of the combination of NVP-BKM120 and Olaparib (left pair, treated with NVP-BKM120 at 30 mg/kg/day and Olaparib at 50 mg/kg/day) and of Olaparib alone (right pair, 50 mg/kg/day). Mice were imaged before and after 3 daily treatments, the repeat scan was obtained within 3 hours after the third treatment. The mouse on the right had multiple synchronous primary tumors, labeled in the before and after images with blue, orange and yellow arrows. Percent FDG-uptake was 65% (tumor with orange arrow), 55% (tumor with blue arrow) and 64% (tumor with yellow arrow). The mouse in the image pair on the right that was treated with Olaparib carried only one macroscopically detectable tumor (red arrow). Olaparib treatments increased FDG-uptake by 75% in this tumor. Note that in the after-Olaparib-treatment image (far right) several hotspots in the upper thorax are visible which upon necroscopy were found to be tumors of less than 2 mm in diameter</p>
