Median tumor volume = the longest diameter × the shortest diameter²/2.
A one-way ANOVA test revealed values of and for spleen weight, and for liver weight, and and for thymus weight. The levels of significance were as follows. For spleen weight:   versus B, D; ,   versus  E. For liver weight, ,   versus A;   versus G. For thymus weight,   versus A, C, and G; ,   versus  F. Independent sample rank sum tests for tumor volume and tumor weight among these groups revealed .
