Full Description
This exam investigates the dynamic interactions between cancer cells and their surrounding tumor microenvironment. A focus will be placed on how these interactions facilitate tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.
The cancer microenvironment plays a critical role in shaping tumor behavior and response to therapies. Understanding these interactions is essential for developing effective treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes in oncology.
Candidates will be tested on their understanding of the components of the tumor microenvironment, including stromal cells, immune cells, and extracellular matrix. They will need to explain their roles in supporting cancer progression and resistance to treatment.
In addition, candidates may discuss recent advancements in targeting the tumor microenvironment as a therapeutic strategy, underscoring the necessity of integrated approaches in cancer therapy.
Sample Questions
- What role do stromal cells play in the tumor microenvironment?
- How do cancer cells evade the immune response within the microenvironment?
