Core Tip
Core Tip: The role of colorectal cancer stem cells in the tumor immune microenvironment, the development and metastasis of colorectal cancer. This paper focuses on how colorectal cancer stem cells affect the tumor immune microenvironment through immune escape, immunosuppression and microenvironment remodeling, and analyzes their key functions in tumor progression and metastasis. In addition, this paper also summarizes potential therapeutic strategies for colorectal cancer stem cells, aiming to inhibit their cancer-promoting effects and provide new targets and ideas for the treatment of colorectal cancer.
