Comparison of the main biomarkers derived from extracellular vesicles for clinical application in non-small cell lung cancer.

EV Content Potential Utility as NSCLC Biomarker
mRNA gene expression, driving/resistance mutations,
splice variants, gene fusions, tumor heterogeneity
miRNA immune-suppressive signature
lncRNA drug-resistance response
Protein PD-L1 expression, neoantigen expression, patient MHC haplotyping

EV, extracellular vesicle; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; PD-L1, programmed cell death ligand 1; MHC, major histocompatibility complex.
