Role of Tumor Microenvironment in Breast Cancer and Targeted Therapies

by Manzoor Ahmad Mir

Overview

Role of Tumor Microenvironment in Breast Cancer and Targeted Therapies discusses the current understanding of breast cancer tumor microenvironment components, their role in tumorigenicity and the development of therapeutic resistance, along with updates on recent advances.

• Presents up-to-date knowledge on the interplays of stromal components surrounding breast tumor cells
• Explores recent advances and trends in the molecular mechanisms of breast tumorigenesis and how to explore further molecular targets
