Delay (days) is the tumour growth delay, which is calculated as the time to median relative tumour volume 4 (median RTV4) following relevant treatment minus time to median RTV4 in control mice
Enhancement (%) is calculated as (100*(delay combination/delay cytotoxic alone))-100
indicates statistically significant enhancement (p<0.05)
indicates marginally statistically significant enhancement (p<0.1)
