What is the Role of Tumor Microenvironment in Fluid Dynamics?
The tumor microenvironment significantly influences fluid dynamics in cancer. Tumors can induce abnormal blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), leading to leaky vessels and increased interstitial fluid pressure. This can promote fluid accumulation and the spread of cancer cells through the bloodstream. Understanding these mechanisms helps in developing treatments that target the tumor microenvironment and its effects on fluid dynamics.
