In vivo photothermal effects in tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. (A) Changes of mice body weights over the study (n=8). (B) Net changes in body weight by the end of the study in each group (day 10 versus day 0) (n=8). (C) Representative photographs of tumors in each treatment group over the study. (D) Tumor growth curves of each treatment group (n=8). Tumor sizes were normalized to their initial sizes (baseline) and expressed as fold-change over the latter. (E) H&E staining of major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney) in each treatment group. Naïve BALB/c mice were included as normal control. This experiment was repeated three times. *p<0.05, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001.
