摘 要:Colorectal cancer remains a signifi cant cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide,mainly because of tumor relapse and *** stem cells(CSCs)are considered to be the main cause of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents,as well as being responsible for distant *** CSCs themselves possess innate abilities for self-renewal and differentiation,the environment surrounding CSCs provides oxygen,nutrients and secreted factors,and also supports angiogenesis,thus it s responsible for maintaining their CSC ***,extensive investigations have revealed that obesity,accompanied by excess visceral adipose tissue,induces chronic infl ammation,and is linked to the risk and progression of several gastrointestinal cancers,through modulating the capacities of the *** review presents the evidence linking colorectal CSCs and their environment and summarizes our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this relationship.
