TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT :
A KEY FOCUS IN PRECLINICAL ONCOLOGY RESEARCH
Author: Marie Tautou, Director of Scientific studies
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an intricate ecosystem surrounding cancer cells, composed of immune cells (such as macrophages, lymphocytes, and natural killer cells), stromal cells, blood vessels, and various signaling molecules. This environment plays a pivotal role in tumor development, metastasis, and response to treatments.
