Tumors are stressful environments. As tumors evolve from single mutated cancer cells into invasive malignancies they must overcome various constraints and barriers imposed by a hostile microenvironment. To achieve this, cancer cells recruit and rewire cells in their microenvironment to become pro-tumorigenic. We propose that chaperones are vital players in this process, and that activation of stress responses helps tumors adapt and evolve into aggressive malignancies, by enabling phenotypic plasticity in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In this chapter we will review evidence supporting non-cancer-cell-autonomous activity of chaperones in human patients and mouse models of cancer, discuss the mechanisms by which this non-cell-autonomous activity is mediated and provide an evolutionary perspective on the basis of this phenomenon.
