Abstract:The tumor microenvironment (TME) is the ecosystem surrounding a tumor, which usually consists of nontumoral cells or components, and molecules they produce and release. The frequent and continuous interplay between tumor cells and the TME strongly affects tumor development, disease progression, metastasis, and responses to therapeutic interventions. As a hub of potential therapeutic targets, the TME has gained appreciable momentum in cancer research. Here we systematically review the progress in targeting the … Show more
