Exosomes secreted by a variety of cells contain a variety of RNA and proteins like microRNA, LncRNA, Circ RNA, exosome synthesis-related proteins and transfilm protein, etc. Exosomes play an important role in the clinical application of tumor treatment. It can be used as a marker for early diagnosis of tumors, diagnostic typing, recurrence monitoring, treatment monitoring, etc. In addition, exosomes can also be used as protein drug carriers, RNA drug carriers, and chemical drug carriers for tumor treatment.
