From: Circulating levels of PCSK9, ANGPTL3 and Lp(a) in stage III breast cancers
ANGPTL3, Lp(a) and PCSK9 distributions between control and stage III breast cancer groups. Boxplots represent the plasma levels of each circulating factor with median and interquartile range. Dotted lines connect age-matched individuals. Student T-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test did not yield any significant difference between stage III breast cancer and control plasma level distributions (p > 0.05). Stage III constituted the case group (n = 23). Control group combined benign pathology of the breast (n = 14) with stage 0 breast cancers (n = 9)
