(a) and (c) show the linear dependency of the thermal enhancement ratio (TER) on time of exposure for CHO cells in vitro and C3H mammary carcinoma cells in mice tumours in vivo, respectively. The slope of the linear fitting clearly depends on the temperature of the hyperthermia treatment, and the natural logarithm of the slope was plotted as a function of temperature for both datasets in (b) and (d). The linear trend lines show the exponential behaviour of the temperature dependent rate k(T) according to Eq. (6). The data for CHO cells (a, b) and C3H mammary carcinoma (c, d) was extracted from58 and60, respectively.
