Cancer-associated fibroblasts in tumor microenvironment – Accomplices in tumor malignancy
Cellular Immunology(2019)
Abstract
•CAF is the major stromal cell type in many tumor microenvironments.•CAFs enact field cancerization by promoting extratumoral oxidative stress.•CAFs interact with tumor-infiltrating immune cells to promote cancer progression.•CAFs can influence the directionality and migration of cancer cells.•Targeting different subpopulations of CAFs led to unexpected cancer outcome.
