Raman Spectroscopic Measurements of Dermal Carotenoids in Breast Cancer Operated Patients Provide Evidence for the Positive Impact of a Dietary Regimen Rich in Fruit and Vegetables on Body Oxidative Stress and BC Prognostic Anthropometric Parameters: A Five-Year Study

Figure 5

Variations of SCS after five years of dietary intervention in BC patients that had consumed less than five (A, ) or five (B, ) F/V servings per day. The values are the mean ± SD of duplicate measurements at starting (white bar) and at the end (grey bar) of observation. ($) with respect to the relevant value in 2009, significant with (paired -test). () with respect to A in 2014, significant with (unpaired -test).
