The present invention relates to the use of parasites and
extracellular vesicles obtained from parasites for
cancer treatment. The aim of the present invention is to use parasites and
extracellular vesicles obtained from parasites in
cancer treatment and to load active substances onto the exosomes by using the
drug loading capacity of the exosomes and thus to carry the specific
drug directly to the target
cancer cells without causing any side effects on healthy cells and thereby to increase the
bioavailability of the
drug to achieve the desired effect in the tumor-specific target area. Within the scope of the present invention, in particular, the infantile
leishmania parasite is used as a source of
extracellular vesicles.
