Dynamic Evolution of the Tumor Immune Microenvironment in Malignant Tumors and Emerging Therapeutic Paradigms.

Cancer is more than just a collection of tumor cells. The complex tumor system, including the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), is continually changing. Tumor cells are in constant communication with all stromal elements (e.g., fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and extracellular matrix) and immune effector cells (e.g., T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells). Together, these intricate interactions among cell and molecular signaling pathways collectively drive tumor growth, tumor invasion, and metastasis and significantly aff

Therapeutic Potential of Chlorogenic Acid in Chemoresistance and Chemoprotection in Cancer Treatment.

Chemotherapeutic drugs are indispensable in cancer treatment, but their effectiveness is often lessened because of non-selective toxicity to healthy tissues, which triggers inflammatory pathways that are harmful to vital organs. In addition, tumors' resistance to drugs causes failures in treatment. Chlorogenic acid (5-caffeoylquinic acid, CGA), found in plants and vegetables, is promising in anticancer mechanisms. In vitro and animal studies have indicated that CGA can overcome resistance to conventional chemotherapeutics and alleviate chemotherapy-induced toxicity by scavenging free radicals
