Abstract

Beyond their essential role in leukocyte homing in the context of inflammation, chemokines orchestrate the host response to cancer progression. Chemokines are key accelerators in the amplification of inflammatory signals and metastasis in the distal zone of tumors, indicating possible immune editing of tumor cells in the microenvironment. This review summarizes the main macrophage-attracting chemokines secreted from cancer cells and how these mediators can be targeted to improve cancer immunotherapy in multiple cancer types.
