(A) Tumour growth curves for mice bearing flank tumours derived from LLC cells from the four treatment groups. Tumour volume is expressed relative to that determined on day 0 (100%). The average maximum tumour diameter on day 12 was 16 mm. Chemotherapy groups (* and $) P<0.05 vs control; combination chemotherapy and darbepoetin ($) P<0.05 vs chemotherapy alone (*). Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA with LSD post hoc correction. Data are expressed as mean±s.e.m. (B) Photograph of representative tumours derived from LLC cells removed from chemotherapy and combination chemotherapy and darbepoetin-treated mice after the mice were killed on day 12 using cervical dislocation under anaesthetic. (i) Tumour from a mouse treated with chemotherapy only; (ii) tumour from a mouse treated with combination chemotherapy and darbepoetin.
