Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cancer microenvironment is considered to be critically important for tumor development, progression, and therapeutic sensitivity. In particular, the stroma surrounding cancer cells (including immune cells, fibroblasts, and ECM) has been recognized as an important factor in characterizing cancer tissue, and basic and clinical data indicate that it may be a potential new therapeutic target. Therefore, we are pleased to invite authors to submit original papers and review articles that pathologically address cancer-specific biomarkers and cancer/stroma interactions (including immune cells, fibroblasts, and ECM) in the cancer microenvironment using surgically resected samples.
Dr. Takehiko Yokobori
