The Role of Macrophages in Cancer: From Basic Research to Clinical Applications
Monocytes infiltrate the tumor microenvironment (TME) and differentiate into macrophages, which polarize into proinflammatory, antitumor M1 cells or immunosuppressive, protumor M2 cells. Within the TME, M2‐type tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) predominate and drive tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Therapeutic strategies therefore focus on
