Paclitaxel-induced macrophage activities in the tumor-bearing host: immunologic implications and therapeutic applications

Tumors induce immune dysfunction through the production of soluble factors that subvert macrophage (Mf) function to favor tumor growth. Previous studies suggested that tumor-induced immune cell dysfunction may be reversible through regimens that disrupt tumor cell suppressor mechanisms and concurre...
