Advances in Exosomes as Diagnostic and Therapeutic Biomarkers for Gynaecological Malignancies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that can be released by practically all types of cells. They have a diameter of 30-150 nm. Exosomes control the exchange of materials and information between cells. This function is based on its special cargo-carrying and transporting functions, which can load a variety of useful components and guarantee their preservation. Recently, exosomes have been confirmed to play a significant role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of gynaecological malignancies. Particularly, participation in liquid biopsy was studied extensively in gynaecological cancer, which holds the advantages of noninvasiveness and individualization.
