Glioblastoma is a primary brain tumor and one of the most aggressive malignant neoplasms. The prognosis remains poor with a short survival period after diagnosis even in the case of timely detection and early treatment with the use of advanced chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgical treatment. In this regard, the research of the main pathogenetic links in the glioblastoma development continues. The current focus is on studying the molecular characteristics of tumours, including the analysis of extracellular vesicles, which play an essential role in intercellular communication processes. In this review, in order to provide up-to-date information on the role of extracellular vesicles in the diagnosis and therapy of gliomas, the analysis of the achieved results of Russian and foreign research related to this area has been carried out. The main goal of this review is to describe the features of extracellular vesicles as the containers and glioma marker transporters, as well as nucleic acids used in diagnosis and therapy.
