Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in the complex process of cancer metastasis by facilitating cellular communication and influencing the microenvironment to promote the spread and establishment of cancer cells in distant locations. This paper explores the process of EV biogenesis, explaining their various sources that range from endosomal compartments to plasma membrane shedding. It also discusses the complex mechanisms that control the sorting of cargo within EVs, determining their chemical makeup. We investigate the several functions of EVs in promoting the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. These functions include influencing the immune system, creating environments that support the formation of metastases before they occur, and aiding in the transformation of cells from an epithelial to a mesenchymal state. Moreover, we explore the practical consequences of EV cargo, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, in influencing the spread of cancer cells, from the beginning of invasion to the creation of secondary tumor sites. Examining recent progress in the field of EV-based diagnostics and treatments, we explore the potential of EVs as highly promising biomarkers for predicting the course of cancer and as targets for therapeutic intervention. This review aims to provide a complete understanding of the biology of EVs in the context of cancer metastasis. By unravelling the nuances of EV biology, it seeks to pave the way for new tactics in cancer detection, treatment, and management.

期刊介绍： Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, and new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by the educational series. Full research articles on a broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of disease, aetiology, pathophysiology, pathology, epidemiology, clinical features, and the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, will be considered for publication.
