From: The Chronobra identifies prevailing mammary vascularity as a candidate variable in breast cancer post-operative outcome prediction

Figure 3

The menstrual cycle of breast vascularity (oral temperature minus breast temperature, °C) for 36 pre-menopausal breast cancer patients: 18 Survivors vs. 18 Non-Survivors after 22.8 y. Best-fitting cosine describes a significant 28d pattern for each group, with highest values during the luteal phase and overall vascularity significantly higher for non-survivors (-1.49 vs. -1.81°C, p <0.0001). Note: 3d moving averages shown for clarity.
