Figure 1.
ctDNA fraction estimated across gastrointestinal disease histologies. MSAF was used to estimate the ctDNA fraction in a given sample. MSAF was significantly greater for all gastrointestinal ctDNA cases versus gastric carcinoma ctDNA cases (*, P = 0.011) and in colorectal carcinoma ctDNA cases versus gastric ctDNA cases (**, P = 0.003). Box-and-whisker plots: box spans first and third quartiles, the median is denoted by the horizontal line in the box, and whiskers indicate maximum and minimum values within 1.5× the interquartile range.
