Cancer Stem Cell Immunology: Key to Understanding Tumorigenesis and Tumor Immune Escape?Keywords: tumor-propagating cells, tumor immunology, tumor immunosurveillance, tumor dormancy, latency, tumor immune escape, cancer stem cells, cancer stem cell immunology Abstract: Cancer stem cell (CSC) biology and tumor immunology have shaped our understanding of tumorigenesis. However, we still do not fully understand why tumors can be contained but not eliminated by the immune system and whether rare CSCs are required for tumor propagation.
