Abstract
Metastatic disease is the final stage of breast cancer that accounts for vast majority of patient death. Mounting data over recent years strongly support the critical roles of the immune microenvironment in determining breast cancer metastasis. The latest single-cell studies provide further molecular evidence illustrating the heterogeneity of this immune microenvironment. This chapter summarizes major discoveries on the role of various immune cells in metastasis progression and discusses future research opportunities. Studies investigating immune heterogeneity within primary breast cancer and across different metastasis target organs can potentially lead to more precise treatment strategies with improved efficacy.
