“…The non-cellular components mainly include the extracellular matrix (ECM), composed of proteins, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans, serving as a scaffold that supports tissue architecture. [4,11,26] The cellular components include fibroblasts, such as cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), mesenchymal stem cells, adipocytes, pericytes, endothelial cells, networks of lymphatic vessels, and tumor-infiltrating cells of the immune system. [21,[27][28][29][30] From the therapeutic point of view, immune cell interactions with cancer cells might be the most successful targets for cancer treatment, and they could serve as a paradigm for a more general approach.…”
