Cancer-associated keratinocytes: new members of the microenvironment in head and neck cancer
The tumor microenvironment is a complex ecosystem of malignant and nonmalignant cells and extracellular proteins that work together to enhance tumor progression. We identified a mechanism in which adjacent nonmalignant epithelium enhances invasion of squamous cell carcinoma, thereby expanding the tu...

Summary: | The tumor microenvironment is a complex ecosystem of malignant and nonmalignant cells and extracellular proteins that work together to enhance tumor progression. We identified a mechanism in which adjacent nonmalignant epithelium enhances invasion of squamous cell carcinoma, thereby expanding the tumor microenvironment to include cancer-associated keratinocytes. |
