Figure 2 (A) Comparison of the normalized mean SERS spectra from 38 early biochemical recurrence and 64 bRFS plasma samples. (B) Box plots of the four significant SERS peak intensities (725, 1,014, 1,328, and 1,447 cm−1) for the two groups.

Notes: The line within each box represents the median, while the lower and upper boundaries of the box indicate first and third quartiles, respectively. Comparison of the spectra data via Mann–Whitney U test, **P<0.01.

Abbreviations: BCR, biochemical recurrence; bRFS, biochemical recurrence free survival; SERS, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
