Effect of combined Paclitaxel/TTFields on VX2 tumors in Rabbits. A VX-2 Kidney tumor volumes were normalized to pre-treatment tumor volume (day 7) and are presented over time for; control (diamonds), 5 mg Paclitaxel (circles), TTFields (squares) and combined TTFields-Paclitaxel (triangles). The effect of combined TTFields and Paclitaxel is equal to the sum of the effects of either treatment alone at both time points measured during the study (2 and 3 weeks from treatment start; n = 23; bars are standard errors of means). B Exemplary MRIs of the maximal contrast enhancing tumor area (demarcated by orange boarders) in the kidneys of rabbits in each of the experimental groups (sham control, Paclitaxel 5 mg, TTFields 2 V/cm, combined Paclitaxel and TTFields).
