Abstract
Abstract:
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, and its death rate is much higher than that of colon, kidney, breast, and prostate cancers, and its 5-year survival rate is only 18%. Lung cancer has no specific clinical symptoms in its early stages and lacks effective detection, making early detection difficult. The survival rate for advanced lung cancer is meager, with a medi-an survival of only 12 months for stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Exosomes could provide vital information for the early diagnosis of lung can-cer and have the potential to become a tumor marker for lung cancer. In addition, scientists have proposed encouraging ways to treat lung cancer by loading drugs, proteins, microRNAs, and siR-NAs into exosomes. Therefore, studying lung cancer exosomes and exosomal nano drugs will pro-vide new ideas and approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. This paper reviews the progress of research on the biological functions of exosomes and exosomal nanomedicines and their applications in clinical practice.
