What is a malignant solid-tumor?
A malignant solid tumor is an organ consisting of mostly cancer cells with a unique structure where most cancer cells on the outside layers are actively dividing, growing and escaping from immune screening while cancer cells inside initially grow rapidly then slow down due to limited space, oxygen and nutrition. Those cells in the middle of a solid tumor organ eventually die or go dormant in the hypoxic environment. The structure of a solid-tumor is the major challenge for anti-cancer product development since it links all cancer cells together to form an organized solid tissue or organ. The majority of anticancer products may work well at molecular or cellular levels against cancer cell lines, but not at the organ level or systemic level against a solid-tumor organ. The solid structure of a solid tumor organ and cancer stem cells within a solid tumor are major challenges anti-cancer drugs face.
