KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Exosomes are subpopulations of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by cells in normal or pathological conditions. From an oncological point of view, such vesicles are involved in cancer progression and may function as a therapeutic tool (based on EVs source), whose molecular signature plays a significant role in the investigation of cancer biomarkers. Recent research reveals the potential role of exosomes in anticancer drug delivery. In this article, we briefly discuss current theranostics perspectives on exosomes and their future orientation.
