  1. Note: ※ Values represent the mean ± SD; a There were significant differences in the volume and the weight of tumors between each treatment group compared with the control group, P <0.05. b Compared with the 5-FU group, the volume and the weight of tumors were dramatically lower in the 5-FU + celecoxib group, P <0.05. C Compared with the celecoxib group, the volume and the weight of tumors were also significantly lower in the 5-FU + celecoxib group, P <0.05.
