Popis: To investigate the effect of intratumoral administration of collagenase-2 on liposomal drug accumulation and diffusion in solid tumor xenografts. Correlation between tumor interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and tumor physiological properties (size and vessel fraction by B-mode and Doppler ultrasound, respectively) was determined. IFP response to intravenous or intratumoral collagenase-2 (0.1%) treatment was compared with intratumoral deactivated collagenase-2. To evaluate drug accumulation and diffusion, technetium-99 m-(99mTc)-liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil™) was intravenously injected after collagenase-2 (0.1 and 0.5%, respectively) treatment, and planar scintigraphic images acquired and percentage of the injected dose per gram tissue calculated. Subsequently, tumors were subjected to autoradiography and histopathology. IFP in two-week-old head and neck squamous cell carcinoma xenografts was 18 ± 3.7 mmHg and not correlated to the tumor size but had reverse correlation with the vessel fraction (r = −0.91, P
