The Tumor Stroma: Biology and Therapeutics

The identification of the role of tumor stroma―the tissue in the  surroundings of cancer cells―in cancer development, progression, and  metastasis has revolutionized the fields of cancer biology as well as  cancer therapeutics. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this  rapidly-evolving field including tumor stroma biology, therapeutic  targets, molecular imaging, and advanced tumor stroma in vitro models.  The book will serve as a handbook for graduate students, postgraduate  researchers, pharmaceutical scientists, and biomedical engineers.
