BackgroundTumor immune escape is a critical step in tumor progression. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) express abundant PD-L1 and suppress the functions of CD8+T cells, enablingd immune escape. CD248 is a candidate bioindicator for CAFs associated with non-sm...
