Figure 3. Pre- and post-MWA EV surface marker levels: (A) HCC cohort; (B) NHCC cohort, showing MFI of 37 EV-associated surface proteins in plasma-derived EVs. CD1c: Cluster of differentiation 1c; HLA-ABC: human leukocyte antigen A, B, and C; HLA-DR/DP/DQ: human leukocyte antigen DR, DP, and DQ; MCSP: melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan; ROR1: receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1; SSEA-4: stage-specific embryonic antigen-4; EV: extracellular vesicle; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; MFI: median fluorescence intensity; MWA: microwave ablation; NHCC: non-HCC group (hepatic metastases of extrahepatic primary tumors).
