Figure 4. Levels of CD44 and MCSP on plasma-derived EVs in the NHCC (n = 15) and HCC (n = 38) cohorts, shown pre- and post-MWA as box plots (median and IQR) with paired individual values (paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test, nominal P-values): (A) CD44; (B) MCSP. EV: Extracellular vesicle; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; IQR: interquartile range; MCSP: melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan; MFI: median fluorescence intensity; MWA: microwave ablation; NHCC: non-HCC group (hepatic metastases of extrahepatic primary tumors).
