Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest Special Issue of our scientific journal explores the critical role of the tumor microenvironment in pancreatic cancer treatment. Pancreatic cancer is known for its aggressive nature, resistance to treatment, and poor prognosis. Therefore, understanding the complex interactions between cancer cells and the microenvironment is crucial for developing effective therapies.
In this Special Issue, we invite you to present your latest research findings, covering various aspects of the tumor microenvironment in pancreatic cancer. Topics range from the role of immune cells and cytokines in modulating the tumor microenvironment to novel approaches for targeting the stroma and enhancing drug delivery.
Through cutting-edge research and innovative approaches, this Special Issue will shed light on the complex and dynamic nature of the tumor microenvironment and its impact on pancreatic cancer treatment. We believe that this Special Issue will be of great interest to researchers, clinicians, and students working in the field of cancer biology and oncology. Join us in exploring the latest advancements in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
Dr. Rui Caetano Oliveira
Guest Editor
