Triple-negative breast cancers, associated with poor prognosis and high tumour recurrence, are often-treated with taxanes in first-line treatment regimens. However, acquired disease resistance often sets in, hampering clinical efficacy. Senescent cells represent a population of residual disease that is highly secretory and drives cancer relapse. Although it is known that therapy-induced senescence can contribute to therapy resistance and cancer relapse via its secretome, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. In this talk, I will discuss a recent study which uncovered an unexpected role for small extracellular vesicles within the senescent tumour cell-derived secretome where they confer critical impact as discrete entities which mediate distinct anti-tumourigenic properties and inflammatory response.
