Macrophages are the ‘trashmen’ of our immune system. They mercilessly break down anything foreign or threatening. Unfortunately, tumours are capable of using macrophages to their own benefit. This is bad news, because these so-called tumour-associated macrophages then form a strong line of defence against the body’s own immune cells and protect the tumour from chemotherapeutics.
