A topical collection in Cancers (ISSN 2072-6694). This collection belongs to the section "Tumor Microenvironment".
Viewed by 231243Dear Colleagues,
Despite the fact that scientific achievements in the studies and therapies for cancer have reached levels that were unthinkable a few years ago, we are very far from an effective cure for solid tumors. The reason for this may be ascribed to many different aspects of such tumors, which are unraveling as we speak.
In particular, tumor microenvironment, metabolic and epigenetic changes, and immune evasion and adaptation are some of the aspects that render solid tumor eradication a real challenge.
In that respect, the current Topical Collection invites contributions aimed at exploring the different characteristics of solid tumors, focused on, but not limited to, the microenvironment, such as hypoxia, alteration of tumor vasculature; extracellular matrix; pH; epigenetic changes, such as methylation, acetylation, and so on; metabolic changes, such as glucose uptake, glutamine metabolism, and so on; modification of microRNA signature; and interaction with the immune system. At the same time, contributions should provide the state-of-the-art of the therapies associated to or proposed for each solid tumor aspect discussed.
