Tumor Microenvironment (TME)

Target
TME
Molecular classification
Complex biological system, Cellular ecosystem
01

Overview

The tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the complex ecosystem that surrounds and interacts with a tumor within the body. It is composed of a diverse array of cellular and non-cellular components, including cancer cells, stromal tissue (fibroblasts, blood vessels, immune cells), extracellular matrix (ECM), and signaling molecules. The TME plays an active role in supporting cancer cell survival, local invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, immune evasion, drug resistance, and overall cancer progression.
