Precisely targeting tumor with engineering exosomes as delivery carrier. Exosomes are carriers with natural delivery ability, which have the characteristics of precisely targeting and high bioavailability. After being loaded into exosomes, anticancer drugs and/or extrinsic ncRNA can directly target cancer cells or CSCs specific pathways, and prevent the further development of tumors. Additionally, the surfaces of exosomes can also be modified with the ligands corresponding to receptors overexpression on cancer cell surfaces, which improving cellular uptake efficiency of exosomes by cancer cells. ncRNA noncoding RNA, CSCs cancer stem cells
