Figure 3

Boxplots of (A) < μ s ' >, (B) [β-carotene], and (C) [THb] for normal and malignant tissue subcategories. Normal tissue consists of fibro-glandular (FG), fibro-adipose (FA), adipose (A); malignant tissue consists of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). All malignant tissues were stratified according to depth: positive (0 mm), close within 1 mm (0+ to 1 mm), close between 1 and 2 mm (1+ to 2 mm). DCIS (0 mm) is not shown due to its small sample size (n = 2).
