Abstract
Myeloid cells play a crucial dual role in cancer progression and response to therapy, promoting tumor growth, enabling immune suppression, and contributing to metastatic spread. The ability of these cells to modulate the immune system has made them attractive targets for therapeutic strategies aimed at shifting their function from tumor promotion to fostering antitumor immunity. Therapeutic approaches targeting myeloid cells focus on modifying their numbers, genetics, metabolism, and interactions within the tumor microenvironment. These strategies aim to reverse their suppressive functions and redirect them to support antitumor immune responses by inhibiting immunosuppressive pathways, targeting specific receptors, and promoting their differentiation into less immunosuppressive phenotypes. Here, we discuss recent approaches to clinically target tumor myeloid cells, focusing on reprogramming myeloid cells to promote antitumor immunity.
