Iron accumulation in tumor-associated macrophages marks an improved overall survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma
Abstract Iron-loaded tumor-associated macrophages (iTAMs) show a pro-inflammatory phenotype, hallmarked by anti-tumorigenic activity and an ability to attenuate tumor growth. Here we explored the relevance of these findings in lung cancer patients by investigating the impact of the iTAM content in t...
