Seed or soil: Tracing the immune subsets in metastatic tumors

Cancer Cell. 2022 Apr 11;40(4):353-355. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2022.03.001. Epub 2022 Mar 24.

Abstract

Mapping the tumor-infiltrating immune subsets to an origin of malignancy or tissue niche is important for designing effective immunotherapies, yet it remains a challenging task. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Liu et al. pieced together this puzzle through a comprehensive single-cell analysis of colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases.
