摘要

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoscale vesicles secreted by cells, have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their role in tumor immunomodulation. These vesicles facilitate intercellular communication by transporting proteins, nucleic acids, and other biologically active substances, and they exhibit a dual role in tumor development and immune evasion mechanisms. Specifically, EVs can assist tumor cells in evading immune surveillance and attack by impairing immune cell function or modulating immunosuppressive pathways, thereby promoting tumor progression and metastasis. Conversely, they can also transport and release immunomodulatory factors that stimulate the activation and regulation of the immune system, enhancing the body’s capacity to combat malignant diseases. This dual functionality of EVs presents promising avenues and targets for tumor immunotherapy. By examining the biological characteristics of EVs and their influence on tumor immunity, novel therapeutic strategies can be developed to improve the efficacy and relevance of cancer treatment. This review delineates the complex role of EVs in tumor immunomodulation and explores their potential implications for cancer therapeutic approaches, aiming to establish a theoretical foundation and provide practical insights for the advancement of future EVs-based cancer immunotherapy strategies.
