TFF tumor-free fraction, i.e., fraction of the mouse groups with no macroscopic or microscopic tumors and no ascites
aTwo animals were excluded from the mouse group receiving 9 MBq/mL; one was sacrificed earlier because of atypical mouse behavior (no tumor tissue could be detected), and one was excluded because of a sole subcutaneous tumor outside of the peritoneum which was suspected to be the result of cell leakage from the peritoneal cavity post inoculation
