Fulltext PDFSignificant improvements in breast cancer treatment and care have been made over the past decades, increasing the overall survival of such patients. However, many years of experimental and clinical research have shown that our knowledge of the altered genes that are expressed in breast cancer cells is insufficient to combat this disease. Breast cancer must be considered a complex tissue that engages in constant crosstalk with the host. The relevance of this interplay in influencing the development and outcome of the disease has provided new approaches for shaping the tumor microenvironment and host lifestyle in preventing and curing this type of tumor.
