Abstract

The tumour organismal environment () is crucial in cancer progression and is often overlooked in current research.

  • The tumour microenvironment () has shifted focus in cancer research but may lead to an incomplete understanding of cancer development.
  • Non-genetic and non-cell-intrinsic factors play a significant role in cancer, as highlighted by TME research.
  • Current TME-centric approaches may neglect important components located beyond the TME.
  • Highlighting the TOE could address explanatory and therapeutic shortcomings in understanding cancer.
