Main description:

Revealing essential roles of the tumor microenvironment components in cancer progression, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on the tumor microenvironment in several organs, including brain, neck, tongue, larynges, esophagus, carotid body, breast, prostate, ovary, endometrium, liver, pancreas, bladder, penis, seminal vesicle, retina, and pituitary, pineal and sweat glands, and more.

Taken alongside its companion volumes, Tumor Microenvironments in Organs: From the Brain to the Skin - Part B updates us on what we know about the different aspects of the tumor microenvironments in distinct organs as well as future directions. This book is essential reading for advanced cell biology and cancer biology students as well as researchers seeking an update on research in the tumor microenvironment.
