This study assesses the response to a multikinase inhibitor, Sorafenib, using a combined hyperpolarized 13C-fumarate and 13C-pyruvate in comparison with diffusion weighted-MRI (DW-MRI). In MDA-MB-231 mammary xenografts, hyperpolarized MRS using 13C-fumarate is an early in vivo marker of response to Sorafenib and is positively correlated with DW-MRI, with a higher sensitivity for 13C-fumarate with respect to DW-MRI. Results are in accordance with ex vivo H&E analysis. The lactate to pyruvate ratio does not seem to be an in vivo marker of tumor response to the multikinase inhibitor in this tumor model.
