Immunosuppressive mechanisms of oncofetal reprogramming in the tumor microenvironment: implications in immunotherapy responseBoth fetal and tumor tissue microenvironments display immunosuppressive features characterized by the presence of specific immunomodulatory stromal and immune cell populations. Recently, we discovered shared microenvironments between hepatocellular carcinoma and fetal tissues and described this phenomenon as an oncofetal ecosystem.
