  1. # Mice were injected i.v. with G3139 at the dose of 0.2 mg/mouse/day for five days and/or with DDP given i.p at 3.3 mg/kg/days for three days and followed, five minutes later, by the delivery of EP to tumors by means of caliper electrodes. Treatment started at day 6 after tumor cell injection and was continued for the days indicated in parentheses. Each experimental group included 8 mice.
  2. *Tumor weight inhibition was calculated at the nadir of the effect comparing treated versus untreated groups.
  3. §Tumor re-growth delay was evaluated as the median time (in days) for treated tumors to re-grow after the treatment.
