The University of South Alabama conducted research to see how cancer cells exploit their environment to grow and spread.

Cancer cells have the ability to grow in an acidic tumor environment that is detrimental to other cells, including immune cells. In a new article, researchers have reported that neutralizing the ...

Specific tumor environment found that triggers cells to metastasize. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2017 / 11 / 171121141924.htm.

Tumors can also create a hostile environment that hampers T cell function. The hostile environment is caused in part by the production of harmful reactive nitrogen species (RNS) inside the tumor.

Tumors consist of both the actual, malignant cancer cells and healthy, non-transformed cells in the immediate environment. These include, among other things, the endogenous scavenger cells of the ...

The researchers stated, "In light of our findings, we believe that neutrophils, which are unique to the tumor environment, may serve as targets for the development of new drugs and as biomarkers ...

"Environmental toxicology was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s," she said, but genetics then began to overshadow studies of cancer's environmental causes. "Toxicology fell by the wayside ...

July 12, 2010 — Tumors grew more slowly and some even disappeared when mice with cancer were housed in an "enriched environment," where they had more space and more things to do. "Simply placing ...

The environment in which breast cancer arises—the interplay between the patient's BMI, tumor size and cancer-specific proteins—is of importance for the prognosis. This is shown in a study from ...

New research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has revealed how breast cancer cells that develop during or after pregnancy change their environment to form more aggressive tumours. In ...
