What are the therapeutic advancements targeting breast cancer stroma?

Breast cancer stroma refers to the surrounding tissue and cells that support the growth and progression of breast tumors. Therapeutic advancements targeting breast cancer stroma have gained significant attention in recent years. Researchers have focused on identifying and understanding the various components of the stromal microenvironment, such as fibroblasts, immune cells, and extracellular matrix proteins, that contribute to tumor development and treatment resistance. By targeting specific molecules or pathways within the stroma, innovative therapies aim to disrupt the tumor-supportive environment and enhance the effectiveness of existing treatments. These advancements offer promising potential for developing personalized therapies that specifically target breast cancer stroma, leading to improved outcomes for patients.
