What is Tumor Microenvironment and Its Significance?
The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of the surrounding cells, molecules, and blood vessels that support tumor growth and progression. Understanding the TME is crucial for developing effective treatments, as it plays a significant role in cancer's ability to evade the immune system and resist therapies. Research is focused on targeting the TME to disrupt these supportive interactions and enhance the efficacy of existing treatments.
