The role of fibroblasts in cancer progression, therapy resistance and field cancerization by Chan, Jeremy Soon Kiat

“…Most anticancer treatments to date are targeted at the tumor epithelia and neglect the critical roles played by CAFs. Moreover, tumor resistance and relapse are persistent challenges faced by patients and clinicians, suggesting an incomplete understanding of tumor-stroma co-evolution that severely limits the sustained efficacy of existing anticancer drugs. …”
