Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common lethal diseases found in women; in which shortcomings of currently used treatment procedures and efficiency to target disease contribute to the increment in mortality. Despite other factors, exosomes, a major class of EVs (extracellular vesicles) also play a regulatory role in normal physiological processes and have a major function in proliferation, metastases, and resistance in BC. Interestingly, despite their role in the progression of BC, exosomes also showed their importance as a drug carrier in the targeted drug delivery. The present review aims to shed light on the role of exosomes as a potential nano-therapeutic vehicle in the targeted drug delivery for BC. Information for this review was searched from PubMed and Google Scholar mostly during the year 2019-2020 by using appropriate keywords. The exosomes have been efficiently used in cancer therapeutics where these nano vehicles having specific markers help in efficient targeted delivery of therapeutics including proteins, nucleic acid, and anti-cancer drugs to BC cells. The properties of exosomes as an efficient delivery system can be explored in the future and holds the potential to be used in other forms of cancer as well.
