The application of tumor-derived exosomes (TDEs). The application of tumor-derived exosomes (TDEs) is mainly divided into two kinds: as a biomarker for diagnosis and participating in treatment. Starting from the diagnostic biomarkers, the biomarkers related to diagnosis or prognosis should be determined first, and then the isolated and purified exosomes can be obtained by centrifugation, filtration and other methods, and substances required for detection in the exosomes can be detected to help diagnosis and treatment. From the perspective of treatment, the tumor-promoting function can be blocked by inhibiting the release of TDEs or inhibiting the absorption of TDEs by other cells. TDEs could also be used to load drugs or prepare tumor vaccines
