报告摘要:Cancer microenvironment is increasingly being viewed as an ecosystem, in which tumor cells interact with surrounding cells through diverse ecological relationships. However, the ecological principles governing the dynamics of cancer development and progression remain a mystery, hindering efforts to find better treatment options.Here, weproposed amathematical model for tumor-immune ecosystem. This ecological model accurately recapitulates the dynamic states and their transitions during cancer immunoediting by integrating mathematical modeling, stability and bifurcation analysis, and clinical data. Our result predicts that robust anti-tumor immune response prevents cancer immunoediting progressing escape phase and that inhibition of anti-tumor immune response only appears during the cancer progression from dormancy to the escape phase. The discovery of these ecological principles and the understanding of cell motility within TME provide a potential for improved intervention of ecological interactions that could impact cancer progression and treatment.
