ABSTRACT
Neutrophils dominate the immunological landscape of multiple types of solid tumours in mice and humans and exert different pro- or antitumoral activity. This functional heterogeneity has prompted a search for different subsets and classifications of tumour-infiltrating neutrophils with the idea of better delineating their specific roles in cancer. In this review, we describe current studies that highlight specific mechanisms by which neutrophils exert pro- or antitumoral function and focus on how distinct tumour types induce unique functional states in neutrophils, co-opt granulopoiesis, modulate neutrophil ageing and prolong the neutrophil life span. In addition, we discuss how the tissue-specific tumour stroma and the stage of the cancer influence the function and number of tumour-infiltrating neutrophils. Finally, we explore different approaches to enhance the therapeutic efficacy in cancer types dominated by neutrophils.
