Median tumor size in the proximal, middle, and distal small intestine regions of B6-Min, BALB-Min, and BALB-RagMin micea
| Strain | No. of mice | Mean age in mo (range) | Median (range) (mm) for SI region
|

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proximal | Middle | Distal | |||
| B6-Min | 4 | 5 | 2.5 (0.5-5.9)A | 2.0 (0.4-4.1)1 | 2.1 (0.7-3.6)A,2 |

a
Median tumor size is largest in the proximal region of the small intestine (SI) and smallest in the distal region of the small intestine in all strains. Values with the same superscript (letters for comparisons within a row and numerals for comparisons within a column) are statistically significant by the Mann-Whitney test. B, C, and 3, P < 0.001; A and 2, P < 0.01; 1, P < 0.05.
