Putative mechanisms of CRK‐facilitated distant metastasis of bladder cancer (BC) by exosomes. CRK adaptors elevate the expression of ErbB2 and ErbB3 in BC cells and promote the proliferation and invasion through ErbB2/3‐mediated activation of downstream signaling pathways. In addition, CRK and ErbB2/3 proteins can be included in exosomes and transferred to recipient cells in metastatic target organs, such as endothelial cells, contributing to formation of premetastatic niches and subsequent metastasis of BC
