Abstract: The present invention discloses an application of the exosome T?RII protein as a marker in preparing a breast cancer diagnostic kit, and belongs to the technology field of breast cancer detection kits. The present invention finds that the content of T?RII positive exosomes in the serum of breast cancer patients is significantly higher than these of healthy people, and after the surgery, the content of T?RII exosomes in the serum of breast cancer patients reduces significantly, which suggests the value of the T?RII positive exosomes during the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer. The present invention provides a breast cancer diagnosis kit based on detecting exosome T?RII protein in peripheral blood, which is simple in operation, and only needs to extract a small amount of peripheral blood of the test population, thereby detecting whether the test population has breast cancer and evaluating the tumor of the patient. The degree of malignancy and the state of metastasis.
