^*Tumor weights were calculated as tumor weight (mg) = (tumor length × tumor width²)/2. Tumors that are shown as weighing 14 mg were estimated as being 3 × 3 mm because they were palpable but too small to be accurately measured with calipers. NA = not applicable.

^†Relative tumor weight = (day T weight/day 5 weight), where day T is each time point beyond the day-5 starting mass.
