* Reviews new treatment possibilities for cancer patients arising from study of the tumour microenvironment * Investigates the impact of the tumour microenvironment on disease progression and response to conventional anticancer treatments * Edited by award-winning researcher in the field .
The microenvironment in which a tumor originates plays a critical role in its initiation and progression. Tumor Microenvironment reviews the importance of tumor microenvironment in cancer management. Particular emphasis is placed on discussing how the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment not only impact disease progression and response to conventional anticancer therapies, but have also led to the identification of potential new therapeutic targets and treatment possibilities for cancer patients. Tumor Microenvironment also reviews the fundamental basis of target development, preclinical assessment, and the current clinical status of these therapies.

Dietmar W. Siemann is the editor of Tumor Microenvironment, published by Wiley.
