Abstract
- Simple Summary: The incidence of gastric cancer (GC) is increasing. Many people receive an advanced diagnosis of GC. Furthermore, a large number of patients are surgically inoperable and are unresponsive to preoperative chemotherapy. Patients with GC do not currently have an immunotherapy option. Our study's objective was to provide insight into extracellular vesicles (EVs) and GC. EVs in GC can be studied, as this article explains. EVs screening, which is available for all patients, is an option for combatting GC. Extracellular vesicles, or EVs, are membrane-bound nanocompartments produced by tumor cells. EVs carry proteins and nucleic acids from host cells to target cells, where they can transfer lipids, proteomes, and genetic material to change the function of target cells. EVs serve as reservoirs for mobile cellular signals. The collection of EVs using less invasive processes has piqued the interest of many researchers. Exosomes carry substances that can suppress the immune system. If the results of exosome screening are negative, immunotherapy will be beneficial for GC patients. In this study, we provide an update on EVs and GC based on ongoing review papers and clinical trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
