DESCRIPTION:Cancers are not just masses of malignant cells. Adjacent "norm
 al” cells\, which include fibroblasts\, endothelial cells\, pericytes an
 d immune cells –  known as the stroma - form a microenvironment that co-
 evolves with cancer from its earliest stages to shape progression. The obj
 ective of this lecture is to convey the complexity of a tumour and its sur
 rounding stroma. We will cover the components of the tumour microenvironme
 nt\, their functional roles within a developing tumour and the implication
 s for therapy
