Interestingly, the interaction between the immune system and cancer cells seems to play a key role in metastasis formation in the target organ.

We found that IL-22 levels were increased in established metastatic sites in both human and mouse. We also found that Th22 cells were the key source of IL-22 in established metastasis sites, and that deletion of IL-22 in CD4+ T cells was protective in liver metastasis formation.
