Macrophages are crucial drivers of tumor-promoting inflammation. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) contribute to tumor progression at different levels, including promoting genetic instability, nurturing cancer stem cells, paving the way to metastasis, taming protective adaptive immunity. TAM can exert a dual, yin yang influence on the effectiveness of cytoreductive therapies (chemotherapy and radiotherapy), antagonizing antitumor activity by orchestrating a tumor-promoting, tissue repair response or, instead, contributing to their ultimate antineoplastic efficacy. TAM express triggers of checkpoints of T cell activation and are targets of checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. Macrophage-centered therapeutic approaches include: strategies to block recruitment and survival in tumors; functional reeducation to an antitumor, M1-like mode; tumor-directed monoclonal antibodies which elicit extracellular killing or phagocytosis of cancer cells. We surmise that TAM can provide tools to tailor cytoreductive therapies and immunotherapy and that TAM-centered therapeutic strategies have the potential to complement and synergize with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
