Accurate identification of the mechanisms of action of exosomes in tumor environments, along with optimization of their isolation, purification, and characterization methods, is necessary to increase clinical applications. Exosomes can be modified through cargo loading and surface modification to enhance their therapeutic applications, either before or after the donor cells' isolation. These engineered exosomes can directly target tumor cells at the tumor site or indirectly activate innate and adaptive immune responses in the tumor microenvironment. This approach is particularly effective when combined with traditional cancer immunotherapy techniques such as vaccines, immune checkpoints, and CAR-T cells. It can improve anti-tumor responses, induce long-term immunity, and address the limitations of traditional therapies, such as poor penetration in solid tumors and immunosuppressive environments. This review aims to provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of the direct role of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems and their immunomodulatory effects on tumors as an indirect approach to fighting cancer.
