The therapy group (n = 7) received regorafenib daily (10 mg/kg bodyweight).

Significantly lower microvascular density was observed in the therapy group (CD-31; 48±10 vs. 113±25, p<0.05). In regorafenib-treated tumors, significantly more apoptotic cells (TUNEL; 11844±2927 vs. 5097±3463, p<0.05) were observed.
