摘要: 肿瘤淋巴转移是医学界亟待解决的难题之一,以往研究多集中在肿瘤细胞本身,难以全面阐释淋巴转移的发病机制。近年研究发现,肿瘤细胞能与肿瘤微环境中其他细胞发生交互作用,淋巴管内皮细胞(lymphatic endothelial cell,LEC)是肿瘤微环境中的重要一员,与肿瘤的淋巴转移密切相关。鉴于此,深入研究肿瘤细胞与LEC的交互作用可能会为肿瘤淋巴转移的病因研究及传统抗癌治疗带来新的曙光。

Abstract: Tumor lymphatic metastasis is one of the most sophisticated medical problems with undetermined etiology and high mortality,demanding prompt solutions. Although various hypotheses have been introduced previously and researches have focused on the tumor cells themselves,none of which can fully elucidate the pathogenesis of lymphatic metastasis. Recent researches have shown the interaction between tumor cells and other cells in the tumor microenvironment. Lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) is an important one in the tumor microenvironment,closely relating with tumor lymphatic metastasis. Therefore,further study on interaction of LEC and tumor cells may bring a new dawn for the etiology of lymphatic metastasis as well as traditional anti-cancer treatment.
