Abstract

The tumor stroma is the major factor influencing the growth of cancer. It is implicated in the regulation of tumor growth and metastatic potential and impacts the outcome of therapy. This article summarizes the fundamental contribution of the Italian scientist Pietro M. Gullino in the study of tumor stroma through the development of new experimental techniques and the characterization of novel angiogenic factors.
