Within the complex tumor microenvironment, cells experience mechanical cues—such as extracellular matrix stiffening and elevation of solid stress, interstitial fluid pressure, and fluid shear stress—that significantly impact cancer cell behavior and immune responses. Recognizing the significance of these mechanical cues not only sheds light on cancer progression but also holds promise for identifying potential biomarkers that would predict therapeutic outcomes.
