There were no significant differences in mean tumour size between models, with the exception of SiHa tumours growing in the cervix, which were significantly larger than SiHa or KHT-C tumours growing i/m. Graphs show the mean tumour IFP (mmHg, y-axis) of individual tumours plotted against the tumour size (g or mm; x-axis). The Rvalue is shown on each graph. KHT-i/m tumours, ME180 cervix tumours, SiHa cervix tumours, MMTV-PyMT transplanted orthotopic mammary gland tumours, MMTV-PyMT i/m tumours. There was a correlation between tumour size and IFP only in the KHT-C tumour model growing i/m.
