Abstract

Cancer is a complex disease and a significant cause of mortality worldwide. Over the course of nearly all cancer types, collagen within the tumor microenvironment influences emergence, progression, and metastasis. This review discusses collagen regulation within the tumor microenvironment, pathological involvement of collagen, and predictive values of collagen and related extracellular matrix components in main cancer types. A survey of predictive tests leveraging collagen assays using clinical cohorts is presented. A conclusion is that collagen has high predictive value in monitoring cancer processes and stratifying by outcomes. New approaches should be considered that continue to define molecular facets of collagen related to cancer.
