Size distribution of extracellular vesicles in pretreatment ascites and plasma is correlated with primary treatment outcome in advanced high-grade serous carcinoma by Maruša Herzog, Ivan Verdenik, Borut Kobal, Katarina Černe

“…On the other hand, there was no correlation of the EV concentration or D10 and D50 values between the ascites fluid and plasma samples. Our results indicate that the EV size distribution in ascites has the potential to predict resection success after primary cytoreductive surgery and that the EV size distribution of the smallest EVs in plasma might help predict the chemotherapy response of patients treated with NACT. …”
