The tumor microenvironment is interconnected to each phase of
Tumorigenesis. In this Learning Pack, we explore how the tumor
microenvironment’s components, including the surrounding blood and
lymphatic vessels, Fibroblasts, Signaling Molecules, the Extracellular
Matrix and the Immune System itself as a rival or ally, are key to
determining the invasive and metastatic abilities of tumor cells.
Includes Subjects: 05. Immune System and Cancer, 06.Angiogenesis, 07. Local Invasion and Metastasis.
