Due a network of dysfunctional blood vessels, many parts of tumours have poor delivery
of oxygen and nutrients, leading to a tumour microenvironment (TME) that is hypoxic,
low in glucose and acidic. These tumour-specific conditions have been targeted by
various therapeutic agents in development, such as hypoxia-activated pro-drugs and
proton pump inhibitors. Although a number of genes are known to play a role in tolerance
to these TME stressors, the relative importance of these is unknown, while there could
be additional genes that contribute that have yet to be identified.
