Depression Induced by CUMS Leads to Bladder Cancer Development and Local Tumor Immunosuppression in Mice

Table 2

Weight of mice before and after experiments, weight of removed tumors, and tumor growth rate.

Weight of mice (day 0)Weight of mice (day 15)Weight of tumorsTumor growth rate (%)

Control group (g, mean ± SD, n = 10)10.32 ± 0.6319.31 ± 0.341.26 ± 0.37
CUMS group (g, mean ± SD, n = 10)9.79 ± 0.3820.16 ± 1.431.84 ± 0.4646.03

CUMS promoted the bladder tumor growth significantly. There was no significant difference between the weights of mice in the two groups on day 0 or day 15. Weights of tumors from the CUMS group were significantly higher than those from the control group.
