Abstract

Cassetta et al. identify a breast cancer tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) transcriptome that is different from those of monocytes and tissue-resident macrophages, and which is associated with shorter disease-specific survival, and they demonstrate crosstalk between tumor cells and TAMs via SIGLEC1, CCL8, and CSF1.
