  Tumor cells employ various strategies to evade the immune system and stromal cells, including masking themselves, suppressing immune cell activity, and manipulating the tumor microenvironment to promote their survival and growth. These mechanisms allow tumors to avoid detection and destruction by the body’s natural defenses.
