Core Tip	Immune reactions accompany all stages of colorectal carcinogenesis and cancer progression. Recent evidence has shown that innate immunity pathways play a fundamental role in maintaining colorectal epithelial homeostasis and confer antitumor protection. However an excessive and unresolved innate immune reaction is the base of chronic colitis which is a well-known risk factor for colorectal cancer. Once the tumor has developed a number of immune cells may either favorably take under control its growth (CD45RO+CD8+ T cells) or favor its progression and metastatic spread (T regulatory cells). A fine regulation of all antitumor immune components is therefore necessary to design a proper immune-based therapeutic approach in colorectal cancer care and prevention.
