Abstract excerpt
In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), macrophages are the most abundant immune cell type in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Macrophage infiltration is inversely proportional to prognosis and disease survival, particularly when these tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) assume an M2-like phenotype. This phenotype is determined by cues from the microenvironment, especially tumor cell-secreted molecules, and is...
