The net effect of type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling on tumor control depends on various factors, including the potential engagement of adaptive anticancer immunity. New findings delineate a targetable epigenetic mechanism by which suboptimal IFN-I signaling promotes tumor progression in the context of cancer stem cell expansion and immunoevasion.
