Objective To summarize the relationship between exosome and thyroid diseases.Method The literatures reports on exosomes and the physiology, pathology and diseases of thyroid were collected and reviewed.Results Exosomes were secreted by cells and could be found in various body fluids, which could mediate the normal physiological development of the thyroid gland and play an important role in the progression of Graves’ disease. Exosomes could be used as diagnostic and differential diagnostic biomarkers for thyroid cancer and affect the growth, invasion, and metastasis of thyroid cancer. As a drug carrier for anti-thyroid cancer, exosome had a good targeting ability.Conclusion Exosomes play an important role in the development of various diseases of the thyroid gland, which have good application prospects in biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation, as well as targeted drug carriers for thyroid cancer.
