Stromal Defense Against Cancer: An Unprecedented Mechanism Limiting Cancer Invasion Into the Bone
The roles of nonimmune systems in tumor regulation remain largely undefined. This article introduces a new concept, “stromal defense against cancer (SDAC),” which is based on recent findings that the periosteum actively responds to tumor proximity and physically impedes tumor invasion into bone.
