Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicles produced by eukaryotic cells and present in all body fluids. Recent studies have revealed that exosomes can be used as a tool for cell signaling and have great potential in cancer diagnosis and treatment strategies. This article reviews the research progress of exosomes in EC in recent years, mainly including the mechanism of action, diagnostic markers, therapeutic targets, and drug carriers. The challenges faced are discussed to provide guidelines for further research in future.
