Once a tumor is large enough to be diagnosed, it has established an entrenched support system for growth and immune system suppression.
Heterogeneity
A bulky tumor is composed of billions of cells with a large range of genotypes and phenotypes. It is difficult to get a complete view of the tumor and hit it from all angles.
Evolution
A tumor is not a fixed target. It is constantly evolving. However, most therapies are based on samples taken at a single time point, resulting in treatment resistance.
Metastasis
Most cancer deaths are the result of distant metastasis. Tumor cells can spread throughout the body, become dormant, then lead to recurrence years after treatment.
