Interactions among diverse cells in the breast cancer microenvironment. The breast cancer microenvironment includes fibroblasts, adipocytes, immune cells, epithelial cells, and breast cancer cells. The interactions can be promoted (cooperative) or inhibited (competitive), leading to the generation of two cell types. The two types of cells undergo different fates, one more competitive, with more diverse and intense biological behavior, and the other gradually dying off
