Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contribute to the development of cancer in various ways. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer of mature lymphocytes and the most common hematological malignancy globally. The most common form of NHL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), is primarily treated with chemotherapy, autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and/or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. With NHL disease progression and its treatment, extracellular vesicles play remarkable roles in influencing outcomes. This finding can be utilized for therapeutic intervention to improve patient outcomes for NHL. This review focuses on the multifaceted roles of EVs with NHL and its potential for guiding patient care.
