A: The median Young's modulus estimation of all PDAC surgical specimens (n=32) regardless of their history of therapy (One-Way ANOVA). N: Non-neoplastic regions, with mean and standard deviation of: YM = (4 ± 1.6) kPa. P: Perilesional region, YM = (23.9 ± 8) kPa. T: Tumor, YM = (42.9 ± 10.2) kPa. See text for details. B: Estimated median Young's modulus values vs. PSR density (%) using Picrosirius red staining of post-surgical human specimens. The number of T: tumor samples using PSR analysis are n = 11 with mean and standard deviation of (51.4 ± 23.3) %, for perilesional samples, P, using PSR analysis, n = 6 with mean and standard deviation of (26.1 ± 9.8) %, and the number of none-neo plastic or normal samples, N, using PSR on them, n = 7 with mean and standard deviation (5.3 ± 1.1)%.
