Fig. 2

Box-and-whisker plots of CD105-MVD in tumors, distal resection margins, and proximal resection margins. The CD105-MVD level was significantly higher in the tumor compared with the distal resection margin (p < 0.001) and the proximal resection margin (p < 0.001). In these box plots, median values are represented by lines within the boxes, whiskers represent the interquartile range, and outliers are represented as individual data points
