Abstract

Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by a complex and heterogeneous tumor microenvironment (TME) that significantly influences disease progression and treatment outcomes. The tumor stroma, which is composed of a variety of cell types such as cancer‑associated fibroblasts, immune cells and vascular components, displays significant spatial and temporal diversity. These stromal elements engage in dynamic crosstalk with cancer cells, shaping their proliferative, invasive and metastatic potential. Furthermore, the TME is instrumental in facilitating resistance to traditional chemotherapy, specific treatments and immunotherapy strategies. Understanding the underlying mechanisms by which the GC microenvironment evolves and supports tumor growth and therapeutic resistance is critical for developing effective treatment strategies. The present review explores the latest progress in understanding the intricate interactions between cancer cells and their immediate environment in GC, highlighting the implications for disease pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions.
