Abstract excerpt
Radioresistance observed in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) may be related to the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), but the underlying mechanism(s) remain unclear. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can regulate the stemness of cancer cells and tumor radiosensitivity. In addition, exosomes have been reported to modify treatment response by mediating cell-cell communication. In this study, we aimed to...
