In addition to the overwhelming lung inflammation that prevails in COVID-19, hypercoagulation and thrombosis contribute lethality of subjects infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Platelets are chiefly implicated thrombosis. Moreover, they can interact viruses an important source inflammatory mediators. While a lower platelet count is associated severity mortality, little known about function during COVID-19.

Neutrophils, the most abundant white blood cells, play a dual role in cancer progression. While they can promote tumor growth, metastasis, and immune suppression, also exhibit anti-tumorigenic properties by attacking cells enhancing responses. This review explores complex interplay between neutrophils microenvironment (TME), highlighting their ability to switch pro- anti-tumor phenotypes based on external stimuli. Pro-tumorigenic facilitate growth through mechanisms such as neutrophil...
