Abstract:

Distant metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with advanced colorectal cancer, and tumor cell-derived exosomes, as mediators of information transfer, are widely involved in all aspects of pre-metastatic niche formation in colorectal cancer. In-depth study of the mechanism of exosomes in the formation of pre-metastatic niche can provide new ideas for targeted therapy and prediction of tumor progression in colorectal cancer.

Key words: Exosomes, Tumor microenvironment, Colorectal neoplasms, Neoplasm metastasis, Pre-metastatic niche
