Our main goal was to assess if hyperpolarized [1-13C]-pyruvate MRS could detect response within 24 hours of cyclophosphamide treatment in a Myc-driven lymphoma model and to compare it with FDG. Our results showed a 70% reduction in the pyruvate-lactate flux following treatment, whereas a more modest change was seen in FDG-PET. This demonstrates the feasibility of using hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate to detect early treatment response in a transgenic mouse of lymphoma, being potentially a complement of FDG-PET as a clinical tool.
