Abstract

This study improves our understanding of how tumor stromal cells recruited from fat tissue stimulate carcinoma progression to chemotherapy resistance and metastasis. A combination of chemotherapy and experimental pharmacological adipose stromal cell ablation reduced the metastatic burden in mouse models, hence establishing a new approach to cancer treatment.
