Distribution and Clinical Significance of Tumour-Associated Macrophages in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Analysis in China

Abstract

The tam count might be associated with neural invasion in pdac, and M2 macrophages might play an important role in lymph node metastasis. Higher counts of either macrophage type were associated with increased risk of lymph node metastasis, and the M2 macrophage count could potentially be a marker for evaluating prognosis.
