Tumor-associated macrophages as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer
Abstract
Breast cancer development largely depends upon the essential contributions from the tumor microenvironment, where several inflammatory cell populations (e.g. macrophages) orchestrate breast cancer development. The majority of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exhibit alternatively activated M2 properties, produce abundant anti-inflammatory factors and facilitate tumor development. Clinical evidences compellingly indicate the association between high TAMs influx and poor prognosis in patients with breast cancers. The pan-macrophage marker CD68 is now generally utilized to identify TAMs in diagnostic biopsy samples, and some other TAM-related biomarkers are also utilized in prognosis prediction, including CD163, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), proliferating cellular nuclear antigen (PCNA), ferritin light chain (FTL) and C-C motif chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18). In this review, we highlight the recent progress made in understanding the relationship between TAMs and clinicopathological parameters in human breast cancer and address the potential value of TAMs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
