| Description: |
Within a tumor, cancer cells are surrounded by a variety of immune cells, fibroblasts, molecules, and blood vessels -- what's known as the tumor microenvironment. Cancer cells can change the microenvironment, which in turn can affect how cancer grows and spreads. See also www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/what-is-cancer. |
