Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in cancer progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. It involves a complex interplay among tumor cells, stromal cells, immune cells, and the extracellular matrix. The intercellular communication and signal transduction that occurs within the TME are critical aspects of this interplay. This special issue of Cancers aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the key signaling molecules and pathways involved in these communication processes and their effects on tumor behavior. Additionally, we will publish reviews and original research that offer new insights into recent advances in targeting these signaling pathways for cancer treatment.
