Fig. 1From: Perioperative changes in cell-free DNA for patients undergoing surgery for colon cancerThe difference in preoperative levels of PPIA and B2M, stratified for patient group and UICC. cfDNA levels depicted as boxplot showing median, upper and lower quartiles. Whiskers extend into a max of 1.5 times the interquartile range. Observations outside this are displayed as outliers. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for analyzing the difference between groups, Kruskal–Wallis test for difference across groups. A shows the difference in B2M levels across and in-between patient groups. B shows the difference in PPIA levels across and in-between patient groups. C and D depict the difference in B2M and PPIA levels stratified for the UICC stage. PPIA: Peptidyl-Prolyl cis–trans Isomerase A, B2M: Beta-2-microglobulin, cfDNA: cell-free DNA, UICC: Union for International Cancer ControlBack to article page
