Tumor Microenvironment Immune Evasion

About Tumor Microenvironment Immune Evasion

Many people facing cancer want to understand the setting a tumor grows in and how their own immune system fits into the picture, alongside the plan from their oncology team. Breast and prostate cancer, advanced or recurrent disease, rare tumors like sarcoma, and questions about screening and treatment side effects are all things these experts hear about every day. These talks also go past the tumor. The tissue around a cancer is shaped by inflammation, immune function, metabolism, mitochondria and toxic exposures. You'll find conversations on immunotherapy for advanced prostate cancer, early detection blood tests, breast cancer prevention and recurrence, exercise oncology, and integrative care alongside conventional treatment. Oncologists, integrative doctors and researchers explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your care team about, from cancer biomarkers and imaging to genetic testing, and what may support you alongside treatment with your care team, from immunotherapy and nutrition to medicinal mushrooms, IV therapies, herbal medicine and exercise.
