Significance Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), as a major component of tumor stroma, affect tumor cell behavior in different manners. Even though it has been shown that CAFs support tumor growth, not much is known about how they contribute to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME)...
