  1. aMeans of the tumor volume for each group were not significantly different until day 14. ANOVA followed by SNK showed that on Day 14 the tumor volume of group 1 was significantly greater than that of groups 7 and 8 and that on Day 17, the tumor volume of Group 1 was significantly greater than that of all other groups. Group 1 had 20 mice, all other groups had 10 mice.
  2. bP value from the ANOVA. The decreasing p value with time indicates that the differences between groups were increasing with time.
  3. Tumor volume (mm3, mean ± SD).
