Exosomes present in the circulation or in body fluids of cancer patients are derived from many different normal and abnormal cells. Exosomes released into the extracellular space are distributed via the blood and lymph to distant body sites. In plasma, for example, tumor-derived exosomes represent only a small fraction of total exosome population which derives from normal circulating as well as tissue cells.
