  3. Tumour heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumour_heterogeneity

    The cancer stem cell model asserts that within a population of tumour cells, there is only a small subset of cells that are tumourigenic (able to form tumours). These cells are termed cancer stem cells (CSCs), and are marked by the ability to both self-renew and differentiate into non-tumourigenic progeny. The CSC model posits that the ...

    An illustration depicting primary tumor (in the form of tumor microenvironment) and the circulating tumor cells. A circulating tumor cell (CTC) is a cancer cell from a primary tumor that has shed into the blood of the circulatory system, or the lymph of the lymphatic system. [1]

  5. Tumor microenvironment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor_microenvironment

    The concept of the tumor microenvironment (TME) dates back to 1863 when Rudolf Virchow established a connection between inflammation and cancer. However, it was not until 1889 that Stephen Paget's seed and soil theory introduced the important role of TME in cancer metastasis, highlighting the intricate relationship between tumors and their surrounding microenvironment.

    Tumor-associated immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of breast cancer models. Cancer immunology (immuno-oncology) is an interdisciplinary branch of biology and a sub-discipline of immunology that is concerned with understanding the role of the immune system in the progression and development of cancer; the most well known application is cancer immunotherapy, which utilises the ...

    Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate in comparison to other forms of cancer, with the leading cause of development due to smoking. [27] The number of smokers in China is rapidly increasing with tobacco killing approximately 3000 people each day. [27] The diagnosis of lung cancer is most common within the 50–59-year age bracket.
