ABSTRACT

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains an ongoing health concern, with poor treatment options and prognosis for many patients. Typically, individuals with lung cancer are detected at the middle and terminal stages, resulting in poor medical results due to lack of initial diagnosis and treatment. So, finding the initial specific and effective therapy options for lung cancer is necessary. In addition, exosomes are generally small lipid vesicles with a diameter in the nanometer range that are created and released by different cell types. Exosomes have therapeutic potential through delivering bioactive compounds including microRNAs, siRNAs, and therapeutic proteins to tumor cells, modifying the tumor microenvironment, and promoting anti-tumor immune responses. In recent years, exosome-based therapy has become known as an appropriate approach for NSCLC treatment. This review offers an overview of the possibility of exosome-based therapy for NSCLC, with an emphasis on mechanisms of action, preclinical research, and current clinical trials. Preclinical studies have shown that exosome-based therapy can decrease tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance in NSCLC models. Furthermore, ongoing clinical trials are looking at the safety and efficacy of exosome-based therapies in NSCLC patients, offering important insights into their translational prospects. Despite promising preclinical evidences, significant obstacles remain, including optimizing exosome isolation and purification techniques, standardizing production strategies, and developing scalable manufacturing processes. Overall, exosome-based therapy shows significant promise as a novel and various methods for treating NSCLC, with the potential to enhance patient outcomes and evolution cancer treatment.
