a: Tumor volume = 0.5 × (length × width2) b: Relative tumor volume = (average tumor volume in treatment group) / (average tumor volume in control group) c: hyperthermic effect in two groups was compared at 12 days after MCL injection since two control hamster died at 12 days. At 15 days, all treated hamsters cured completely.
