DESCRIPTION:*The importance of understanding and 'reprogramming' the tumou
 r microenvironment*\n\nEvery cancer is a complex microenvironment of malig
 nant cells supported by a wide variety of ‘normal’ cells that are recr
 uited\, and often corrupted’ by the malignant cells to help the cancer g
 row and spread. There are ‘exhausted’ immune cells\, over-active fibro
 blasts and tortuous leaky blood vessels often supported by a stiff and abn
 ormal fibrous mesh. Understanding and ‘reprogramming’ this microenviro
 nment can restrict vital supplies to the cancer and re-awaken the immune c
 ells to recognise and destroy malignant cells.\n\n"Add to calendar":https:
