Abstract

Summary: Tumour‐associated macrophages (TAM s) represent a predominant population of inflammatory cells that present in solid tumours. TAM s are mostly characterized as alternatively activated M2‐like macrophages and are known to orchestrate nearly all stages of tumour progression. Experimental investigations indicate that TAM s contribute to drug‐resistance and radio‐protective effects, and clinical evidence shows that an elevated number of TAM s and their M2 profile are correlated with therapy failure and poor prognosis in cancer patients. Recently, many studies on TAM‐targeted strategies have made significant progress and some pilot works have achieved encouraging results. Among these, connections between some anti‐tumour drugs and their influence on TAM s have been suggested. In this review, we will summarize recent advances in TAM‐targeted strategies for tumour therapy. Based on the proposed mechanisms, those strategies are grouped into four categories: (i) inhibiting macrophage recruitment; (ii) suppressing TAM survival; (iii) enhancing M1‐like tumoricidal activity of TAM s; (iv) blocking M2‐like tumour‐promoting activity of TAM s. It is desired that further attention be drawn to this research field and more effort be made to promote TAM‐targeted tumour therapy.

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.
