CSF1 and neoplasm: Circulating monocytes are recruited to the tumor site by different factors, such as CCL2 (MCP-1), macrophage colony stimulating factor-1 (M-CSF/CSF-1), and metabolites of 5-lipoxygenase [27], and differentiate in response to the microenvironment stimuli into classically activated M1 or alternative activated M2 phenotypes.
