Review Title: Tissue-resident cytotoxic innate lymphoid cells in tumor immunosurveillance
Abstract: Innate lymphocytes play an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis at steady state and during inflammation. The population of innate lymphocytes is incredibly diverse and heterogeneous with the successive identification of new subsets including innate lymphoid cells that arise from progenitors distinct from those of natural killer cells. Although generally considered as T helper-like lymphocytes, innate lymphoid cells with cytotoxic potential can be identified in many tissues. The tissue-resident cytotoxic innate lymphocytes derived from innate lymphoid cell and/or natural killer cell lineages are well positioned in sensing malignant transformation and initiating antitumor immunity. This review provides an overview of innate lymphocyte biology and discuss their roles in tumor immunosurveillance. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
