DESCRIPTION:Because of the remarkable ability of cancer cells to adapt and
  survive\, finding effective treatments against cancer depends upon identi
 fying and attacking targets and pathways critically important for the canc
 er cell.  The tumor physiological microenvironment\, interactions between 
 cancer cells and stromal cells such as endothelial cells\, fibroblasts and
  macrophages\, the extracellular matrix\, and several secreted factors and
  cytokines influence progression\, aggressiveness and response of the dise
 ase to treatment.  Multi-modality and multi-parametric molecular and funct
 ional imaging provide unprecedented opportunities for understanding and tr
 eating cancer.  Some of our recent advances in molecular and functional im
 aging of cancer are discussed.
