چکیده
The function of exosomes and microvesicles (MVs) in human tumors has been demonstrated to be important. They play important roles in the onset and development of different cancers, and have been shown to be promising objects in studies seeking to discovery and identify tumor markers. However, research on the biological activity and molecular function of MVs in head and neck cancers (HNCs) is uncommon, mainly in nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPCs). In this review, we studied the isolated methods, the function of exosomes and MVs, and the advance of role in HNCs.
