Characterisation of tumour-infiltrating macrophages: impact on response and survival in patients receiving primary chemotherapy for breast cancer
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 08/17/2012
Heys SD et al. – The results emphasise the importance of characterising activation status of infiltrating macrophages and provides proof of principle for using macrophage SOCS protein expression as a survival predictor. The apparent impact of macrophage subsets on overall survival underlines the therapeutic potential of manipulating macrophage activation in cancer.
