Abstract

Prostate cancer poses a serious threat to the well‑being of men worldwide, with the leading cause of mortality being primarily through metastasis. Prostate cancer metastasis is dependent on cell communication, which is an essential component of this process; yet its exact mechanism remains obscure. Nonetheless, cell‑to‑cell communication plays a critical part in prostate cancer metastasis. Exosomes play an indispensable role in the development of metastatic growth by promoting intercellular communication. They are pivotal regulatory agents for both prostate cancer cells as well as their microenvironment. The present study investigated the makeup and function of exosomes in the tumor microenvironment, highlighting their significance to prostate cancer metastasis.
