The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

Recent advances in immunotherapy have significantly improved clinical outcomes, particularly for 10 cancers that were once considered untreatable or with poor prognosis. A growing body of evidence 11 underscores the importance of both tumoral and non-tumoral components of the tumor 12 microenvironment (TME) in driving cancer progression. The TME is a dynamic and complex 13 ecosystem that includes not only cancer cells but also stromal cells such as immune cells, endothelial 14 cells, and fibroblasts, as well as extracellular matrix components.
