Treatment Summary: | Then, tumor-bearing mice were randomized into the following groups: untreated xenografts (positive controls) and three treatment groups, DOX, 5-FU, and a combination of DOX and 5-FU. The mice in the DOX group were administered 1mg/kg of DOX once weekly , and the mice in the 5-FU group received 50 mg/kg of 5-FU daily for five consecutive days both treatments administered via an intraperitoneal (i.p.) route [32]. The mice in the combination therapy group received DOX & 5-FU as separate injections, and the treatment duration was two weeks. An overview of the experiment flow. The body weight of the mice was measured at the start of the study and twice weekly from the beginning of the treatments. Tumor growth and progression were monitored by palpation and measurement of tumor size periodically using a digital vernier caliper. The tumor volume in cm3 was determined using the formula (volume = π/6 × length × width2) [33]. All mice were anesthetized and euthanized via cardiac puncture at the end of the treatment period. Tumors were excised and weighed, and their sizes were measured. Also, blood serum was collected from each mouse. Both tumor and serum samples were stored at -80°C for further analysis. |
