Fig. 1From: Angiogenic cytokines and their influence on circulating tumour cells in sera of patients with the primary diagnosis of breast cancer before treatment a: Box plot analysis of sFLT1 expression in sera of breast cancer patients. We identified a significant enhanced sFLT1 release in CTC negative patients compared to patients being CTC positive p = 0.034. In addition ROC analysis was performed. AUC value is 0.413. b: Box plot analysis of PlGF expression in sera of breast cancer patients. We identified a significant enhanced PlGF values in CTC negative patients compared to patients being CTC positive p = 0.043. In addition ROC analysis was performed. AUC value is 0.417Back to article page
