Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils and Cancer: Ambivalent Role in Host Defense Against Tumor
Preview AbstractNeutrophils are the most abundant cells in the human body. Their ability to take up and destroy microorganisms is well known. The potential role of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) in antitumor response due to their high cytotoxicity was actively investigated in the recent decades. It turned out that the role of PMN in cancer is very complex and controversial. It appears that these cells contribute both in tumor rejection and tumor promotion. The mechanisms of this dual role are starting to emerge. If we could find ways to manipulate PMN function in cancer, it would open a new exciting opportunity to improve cancer therapy. In this chapter, we will discuss the potential role of PMN in tumor growth and cancer therapy.
