As an essential innate immune population for maintaining body homeostasis and
warding off foreign pathogens, macrophages display high plasticity and perform
diverse supportive functions specialized to different tissue compartments.
Consequently, aberrance in macrophage functions contributes substantially to
progression of several diseases including cancer, fibrosis, and diabetes. In the
context of cancer, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in tumor microenvironment
(TME) typically promote cancer cell proliferation, immunosuppression, and
angiogenesis in support of tumor growth and metastasis. Oftentimes, the abundance
of TAMs in tumor is correlated with poor disease prognosis. Hence, significant
attention has been drawn towards development of cancer immunotherapies targeting
these TAMs; either depleting them from tumor, blocking their pro-tumoral
functions, or restoring their immunostimulatory/tumoricidal properties. This
review aims to introduce readers to various aspects in development and evaluation
of TAM-targeted therapeutics in pre-clinical and clinical stages.
