Tumor-bearing mice were sacrificed when their tumors reached an estimated 1 cm3. Measurements were in 2 dimensions, and tumor volume was calculated by the formula: TV= (LxW) 2/2. Numbers in parentheses indicate the effective no. of mice. The no. of mice sacrificed when the tumors reached 1 cm3 over the effective number of mice at 27 days is shown. i.p., intraperitoneally.
