Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition entitled “Tumor Microenvironment of Breast Cancer–2nd Edition”. The original can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/617378FN2S.
The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of cancer cells, but also many other types of cells, including stromal and immune cells that play critical roles in cancer biology. The interactions that occur within the TME include fundamental mechanisms that affect tumor progression and treatment outcomes. Recently developed cancer therapeutics are targeting these interactions within the TME, including immune- and stroma-targeted approaches. The tumor immune microenvironment significantly influences patient survival, and neoadjuvant therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors is now considered the standard of care for some triple-negative breast cancers. Despite these recent advancements, many breast cancer patients still encounter resistance to treatment, the progression of disease, and poor outcomes. In this Special Issue of Cancers, we hope to gather the latest findings (original articles), as well as summary reports (review articles), that discuss breast cancer TME, with the aim of aiding the next generation of researchers.
Dr. Masanori Oshi
Guest Editor
