Can Tissue Heterogeneity be Targeted in Treatment?
Yes, several strategies aim to address tissue heterogeneity in cancer treatment:
1. Combination Therapies: Using multiple drugs simultaneously can target different subpopulations within the tumor. 2. Adaptive Therapy: Adjusting treatment based on the tumor's response to minimize resistance development. 3. Targeting the Microenvironment: Modulating the tumor microenvironment to make it less conducive to cancer growth and heterogeneity.
