Abstract
Although most cancer therapies are directed against tumor cells, an emerging area of cancer therapeutics focuses on targeting cells of the tumor microenvironment. Inhibiting the Src family kinase with dasatinib decreases tumor growth through inhibiting growth of tumor-associated endothelial and myeloid cells.
