Abstract: Researches show that exosome can take park in the development and progression of breast cancer by means of mediating the intercellular communication, which can promote cancer metastasis and drug resistance, thus influencing the treatment effect of patients with cancers. Exosome is closely related with clinical stage and prognosis of breast cancer, which has a potential value in the early diagnosis and biological therapy of breast cancer and provides a new hope for the treatment of breast cancer.

Key words: Breast neoplasms, Neoplasm metastasis, Exosomes
