Abstrakt: Intravital multiphoton imaging of the tumor milieu allows for the dissection of intricate and dynamic biological processes in situ . Herein, we present a step-by-step protocol for setting up an experimental cancer imaging model that has been optimized for solid tumors such as breast cancer and melanoma implanted in the flanks of mice. This protocol can be utilized for dissecting tumor-immune cell dynamics in vivo or other tumor-specific biological questions. For complete details on the use of this protocol for intravital imaging of breast cancer, please refer to Tikoo et al. (2021a), and for intravital imaging of melanoma, please refer to Tikoo et al. (2021b).
