Effect of DFMO on breast cancer tumors

Description

The data are the result of an experiment, that we will refer to as the Bt-20 experiment. The goal of the experiment was to determine whether hormone-independent human breast cancer cells growing in nude mice manifest sensitivity to the polyamine-biosynthetic inhibitor DFMO. Mice bearing established tumors to one of six groups: 0% (control), 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3%. Tumors in each group were measured at day 0, 3, 7, 10, 14 and 16.
