What is it about?
Collagen has a pivotal role in cancer progression, metastasis, and therapeutic response; accordingly, it might represent a target for cancer treatment. In this manuscript the authors provide an overview of the current advances and challenges of the main approaches aiming at tumor collagen normalization for cancer therapy. These strategies include targeted anticancer drug delivery, promotion of collagen degradation, modulation of collagen structure and biosynthesis, and targeting of cancer-associated fibroblasts.
