How cancer develops and responds to treatment depends not only on the tumor cells themselves but also on the complex ecosystem of surrounding immune cells, blood vessels and connective tissue. In B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, these cellular neighborhoods can determine whether a tumor grows, evades the immune system or responds to therapy. Understanding this spatial organization has become one of the major challenges in cancer research.
