Abstract

The occurrence and development of malignant tumors is closely related to the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN) are important inflammatory cells in the tumor microenvironment. Studies have confirmed that TAN plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, pathological angiogenesis, and immunity escapes. TAN can be activated as an anti-tumor N1 type and a tumor-promoting N2 type. This article reviews the biological characteristics of TAN and the role of TAN in the malignant tumors and its mechanism. Key words: Neoplasms; Neutrophil; Cell proliferation; Tumor microenvironment
