Résumé
Carcinomas are constituted by malignant epithelial cells and the tumor microenvironment also called tumoral stroma. The present non-exhaustive review will focus on cellular and molecular key events implicating cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the stroma remodeling processes occuring during tumor invasive steps. We will also discuss the place of the stroma in the cancerology today, the recent progresses done and its usefulness to design new therapies.
