TLDR Cancer cells exploit body processes to grow and spread.
The document reviewed how tumor cells hijacked physiological processes at cellular, tissue, and organismal levels, using intravital microscopy techniques to gain insights into tissue homeostasis and cancer progression. It highlighted the strategies adopted by tumor cells to exploit these processes for their benefit and described how visualizing these dynamic processes in living mice expanded the understanding of cancer initiation and progression.
