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...
