Figure 6

Average tumor volume graphs of the following groups: no treatment (NOT; n = 3), FeO NP only (FeO NP only; n = 3), radiation only with 10 Gy (RO-10 Gy; n = 5), radiation only with 40 Gy (RO-40 Gy; n = 5), FeO NP injection (100 mg Fe/kg) followed by 10 Gy-irradiation (FeO NP-10Gy; n = 5), and FeO NP injection (100 mg Fe/kg) followed by 40-Gy irradiation (FeO NP-40 Gy; n = 5) . Comparison between the experimental groups or control group was done on the basis of the tumor growth curves. The average TVGR10–30 days of the FeO NP-PAT group significantly differed from those of the control group (p < 0.04).
