Figure 4

Subcutaneous tumors generated ample, high-quality pancreatic cancer tissue for subsequent ex vivo tumor ablation assessments. (A) Tumor growth was readily observable above the skin behind the ear where the Panc01 cells were injected. (B) No observable foci were located in regions where Matrigel alone (control) was injected. (C) Ultrasound image confirmed the volumetric growth of the tumors. The tumor is outlined here in white for clarity. (D, E) Necropsy of the tumors confirmed that (D) they were confined to the dermis and (E) approximately the same size as measured extra-dermally.
