Vascular shutdown effect and subsequent intratumoral necrosis caused by iv injection of CA4P: A. hepatic Rhabdomyosarcoma-1 (R1) tumor in rat was shown on contrast enhanced T1-weighted MR image; B. minutes to hours after CA4P injection, a hypointense tumor is surrounded by a hyperenhanced rim, suggesting vessel shutdown and tumor necrosis with peripheral viable residues; C. the corresponding histological section proves massive intratumoral necrosis (N) and a few layers of viable tumor cells (V) in the periphery adjacent to the normal liver.
