Abstract

Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles derived from the endosomal system and involved in multitudinous biological and pathological processes. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that exosomes are closely related to the tumorigenesis and progression of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer-related exosomes have cell-specific constituents that could be leveraged for diagnosis. Additionally, exosomes are promising to treat ovarian cancer through functioning as delivery systems or participating in immunotherapy or serving as direct targets. In this review, we discussed the association of exosomes in ovarian cancer progression and look forward to the clinical significance of exosomes relevant to diagnosis and treatment.
