Abstract
We have finally reached the end of this book. Having a comprehensive summary of how to understand cancer as an ecosystem, how to view cancer as an ecological entity, and understanding how each component in the local onco-sphere, inter-communications among onco-spheres, including how the host environment could affect the tumor behavior; has led us to grow in deeper understanding of the core biology and mechanisms of cancer occurrence, growth, and metastasis. Therefore, it is high time to treat tumors as an ecological network, finding solutions to modify the systemic or the distal onco-sphere that can have detrimental effect toward the local onco-sphere. In this chapter, we emphasize on targeting specific niches in the local, distal and systemic onco-sphere.
