How Does Microenvironmental Heterogeneity Affect Cancer?

Cancer is a prime example where microenvironmental heterogeneity plays a significant role. Tumors are composed of cancer cells, stromal cells, immune cells, and ECM components, all contributing to a complex microenvironment. Factors like hypoxia, pH variations, and stromal interactions can lead to heterogeneous tumor regions, affecting treatment response and disease progression.
