Core Concept
Next-Generation Drugs to Solve the Limitation of Anti-cancer Treatment in Gastrointestinal Cancer
- Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a key role in cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth.
TME forms a physical barrier around the tumor, preventing the penetration of immune cells and drugs. - As a result, TME causes insensitivity or drug resistance against anti-cancer drugs, resulting in the survival, growth, and metastasis of cancer cells.
