Tumor Microenvironment Regulation of Tumor Expansion is a practical guide to understand and perform research on tumor microenvironment, and to support clinical decisions taking into consideration its specificities. Tumor progression is linked to a switch in the balance between positive and negative regulators, and mainly depends on the release by inflammatory or neoplastic cells of specific growth factors. Inflammatory infiltrate contributes to tumor progression and metastatic process, and there are many reports of associations between tumor inflammatory infiltrate, progression and prognosis. Understanding different contexts of organs is a key factor to improve outcome of treatments, especially new therapeutics targeting components of tumor microenvironment. This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, clinicians, graduate students and several members of biomedical field who are interested to learn about the complex relationship between tumor microenvironment and its context in specific organs. Provides a holistic approach to understand the crucial role of tumor microenvironment in tumor progression inside a different context of organEncompasses the basic knowledge to understand and perform further studies in the field of tumor microenvironmentDiscusses new therapeutic approaches developed to control tumor progression through targeting different components of tumor microenvironment INDICE: 1.
