Can Targeting the TME Improve Cancer Treatment?

Yes, targeting the TME is a promising strategy in cancer therapy. Approaches include:
1. Anti-angiogenic Therapy: Drugs like bevacizumab inhibit blood vessel formation, starving the tumor of nutrients.
2. Immune Modulation: Checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab can enhance the anti-tumor activity of immune cells.
3. Matrix Modulation: Enzymes that degrade the ECM can improve the delivery and efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents.
