The interaction of cancer stem cells with the tumor microenvironment. Cancer stem cells communicate with and react to the tumor ecosystem including endothelial cells, hypoxic environments, tumor associated fibroblasts (TAFs), tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), monocytes, and other immune cells. These interactions maintain the cancer stem cell niche and provide potential therapeutic options.
