Tumor-Associated Neutrophils Show Phenotypic and Functional Divergence in Human Lung Cancer

Cancer Cell. 2016 Jul 11;30(1):11-13. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2016.06.016.

Abstract

Studies in murine cancer models have demonstrated the phenotypic and functional divergence of neutrophils; however, their role in pro- or anti-tumor responses in human remains elusive. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Singhal et al. report the existence of specialized subsets of neutrophils in human lung cancer with diverging functions.
