| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is now widely accepted that functional interaction between cancer cells and cancer microenvironment plays critical roles in the growth, invasion, and metastasis of cancer. For the development of new strategies for cancer treatment, it is important not only to target cancer cells themselves, but also to understand the functions of cancer microenvironment in various cancer tissues. In this research project, we have investigated: 1) dynamic changes of cancer microenvironment, 2) interaction between cancer-initiating cells and niche, 3) molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, and 4) mechanisms of cancer metastasis and new methods for cancer treatment. We have conducted our research by exchanging scientific ideas and experimental techniques among the investigators in this project, including young investigators, and obtained many interesting findings.
