The environment of cancer cells in a tumor mass sets a complex stage, in which the cancer cells progress. Targeting this tumor microenvironment (TME), such as cancer-associated fibroblasts or vasculogenic mimicry vessels, helps in curbing cancer cell growth and invasion. Snake venom components directed against integrins and neuropilin-1 may lead to new ways on how the TME components are drugable targets that make cancer cells vulnerable.
