M1 Macrophage and M1/M2 ratio defined by transcriptomic signatures resemble only part of their conventional clinical characteristics in breast cancer

Abstract Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) play a critical role in biology of various cancers, including breast cancer. In the current study, we defined “M1” macrophage and “M1”/“M2” ratio by transcriptomic signatures using xCell. We investigated the association between high level of “M1” macropha...
