Plasma levels of EVs in BC patients before and after surgery (n = 45). From the results obtained, it is possible to see that one month after the operation there is a statistically significant decrease in the levels of EVs that becomes equal to the one observed on HC. Each data point represents an individual subject analysed. Each box represents the area between the 25th and 75th percentiles [interquartile range, IQR]. Lines inside the boxes represent the median values. White dots represent the mean value for each class. Whiskers extend to the lowest and highest values within 1.5 times the IQR from the box
