Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles can carry malignant factors from tumor cells and help hijack macrophages and microbiota in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In turn, the hijacked macrophages and microbiota can respond with tumor-promoting feedback, achieving a reciprocal coexistence in the TME and working together to facilitate tumor progression. Abstract: The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a biological …
