Figure 3.

Tumor size variation eight days post MiaPaCa-2 orthotopic implantation. (a) Tumors were implanted in 5 separate batches, each denoted by a different patterned bar. Each bar represents an individual tumor and its volume measured by ultrasound. Dotted lines are 5 mm³ and 65 mm³, and tumors that fell within this range were included in subsequent longitudinal analysis. The black line denotes the size cutoff of 35 mm³ for large and small tumors. (b,c) Separation of tumors into small and large tumor size groups, respectively. Dotted lines represent the cutoff sizes for each group (5–35 mm³ in B, 35–65 mm³ in C). Red lines denote the average size of tumors in that group, 22.3 mm³ for small tumors, and 46.8 mm³ for large tumors.
