Abstract:

Extracellular vesicles are nanoscale membranous vesicles secreted by cells and are an important mediator for intercellular communication. Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles not only affect tumorigenesis and progression, but also mediate tumor immune escape and therapeutic resistance through interaction with immune cells. Liquid biopsies based on extracellular vesicles and therapeutic strategies targeting extracellular vesicles have promising applications in tumor therapy. This paper describes the biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their role in immune regulation of oral tumors, and discusses therapeutic strategies for oral tumors based on extracellular vesicles, providing a theoretical basis for promoting the clinical translation of extracellular vesicles.

Key words: extracellular vesicle, oral tumor, immune cell, biomarker, immunotherapy
