Article Synopsis
  • The tumor microenvironment (TME) is the area around cancer cells that helps tumors grow and can make treatment harder by blocking drugs and hiding the tumors from the immune system.
  • New therapies are being developed to target the TME, including methods to change the environment around the tumor and to better use the immune system to fight cancer.
  • Understanding the complex TME is important because it can help scientists create better treatments that work for different patients, and it requires teamwork and new technologies to really figure it out.
