The inflammatory tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex network of cancer, immune, and stromal cells interacting through cytokines and growth factors to drive tumor growth, angiogenesis, and immune suppression. These intricate and dynamic interactions are difficult to unravel, but studying them provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying cancer progression.
