The xenograft orthotopic models of advanced endometrial cancer were generated in NSG mice by implantation of CXCR4+ or CXCR4- AN3CA cells (n = 4/group). Results are reported as mean ± s.e.m. of number or area of metastatic foci per mouse counting medium power microscope fields (200×, 10 fields) in liver or lung sections, after IHC staining using anti-human vimentin. Assessment of the effect size between groups was performed using Cohen’s delta (d) test. a d = 0.92; b d = 0.75; c d = 2.3; d d = 1.26.
