Presented here is an application of the new approach of chemical imaging, performing an in-vivo chemical analysis, to predict a given tumor’s response to radiation therapy. Cancer tumors’ oxygen distributions in PDX mice was imaged by photoacoustic imaging with tumor-targeted oxygen sensor nanoparticles. Following radiation therapy, we established a quantitatively significant correlation between the spatial distribution of the initial oxygen levels and the spatial distribution of the therapy’s efficacy: the higher the local oxygen, the higher the local radiation therapy efficacy. The presented cancer chemical imaging provides a non-invasive method to predict the efficacy of radiotherapy for a given tumor.
