Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized vesicle structures secreted from a variety of cells, which carry numerous biological macromolecules, participate in cell signal transductionand avoid immune system clearance. EVs have a plethora of specific signal recognition factors, and many studies have shown that they can play an important role in the precise treatment of tumors. This review aims to compile the applications of EVs as nanocarriers for antitumor drugs, gene drugsand other nanomaterials with anticancer capability. Additionally, we systematically summarize the preparation methodology and expound upon how to improve the drug loading and cancer-targeting capacity of EVs. We highlight that EV-based drug delivery has the potential to become the future of precise cancer treatment.
