# Unveiling cancer crosstalk: Mapping complexity across time and space

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a collection of studies examining how cancer interacts with its environment over time and space.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in compiling research that maps cancer's dynamic interactions with its environment across multiple scales.

## Key findings

- Cancer uses environmental interactions to grow and adapt.
- The collection explores tumor–environment crosstalk across time and space.

## Abstract

Cancer evolves through dynamic exchanges with its environment, harnessing these interactions to grow, adapt, and transcend the constraints that would otherwise limit its progress. A new collection of articles explores this tumor–environment crosstalk across temporal and spatial scales.
