| Treatment (day) | No. of deaths [%] due toa:
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Surgery | Local recurrence | Metastasis | |
| Expt 1 (n = 20) | |||
| Surgery (18) | 0 | 3 (24.3) | 13/17 [76] (31.9) |
| Surgery (18) + CAM (23–43) | 1 (10) | 0 | 6/19 [32]b (33.7) |
| Expt 2 (n = 17) | |||
| Surgery (15) | 4 (1.3) | 0 | 6/13 [46] (36.8) |
| CAM (1–14) + surgery (15) | 1 (2) | 0 | 0/16 [0]b (>70) |
a
Values in parentheses represent mean numbers of survival days from the surgery.
b
P < 0.05 versus the surgery-alone group.
