Neighboring macrophage-induced alteration in the phenotype of colorectal cancer cells in the tumor budding area
Abstract Background A higher number of tumor buds in the invasive front of colorectal cancer (CRC) specimens has been shown to contribute to a poor prognosis in CRC patients. Because macrophages (Mφs) have been demonstrated to alter the phenotype of cancer cells, we hypothesized that the phenotype o...
