## Abstract The tumor microenvironment, composed of nonβcancer cells and their stroma, has become recognized as a major factor influencing the growth of cancer. The microenvironment has been implicated in the regulation of cell growth, determining metastatic potential and possibly determining locat

## Abstract The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family comprehends four different tyrosine kinases (EGFR, ErbBβ2, ErbBβ3, and ErbBβ4) that are activated following binding to epidermal growth factor (EGF)βlike growth factors. It has been long established that the EGFR system is involved in t
## Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) epithelial cells require a number of factors to facilitate their establishment and growth at a distant site of metastasis. Their ability to adapt to their microenvironment, proliferate and recruit an underlying stroma is integral to the survival and growth of the m
Thrombospondin (TSP-1) is a large glycoprotein secreted by platelets and synthesized by many cell types, including endothelial and tumor cells. Although controversy exists about the biological function of TSP-1, the following observations suggest that TSP-1 may potentiate tumor progression. (1) Tumo
