Ong et al. reported that TAMs were pro-inflammatory and inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells, as well as produced cytokines (e.g., IL-6 and IFN-γ) and chemokines (e.g., CXCL8/IL-8 and CCL2) that attract T cells, and promoted type-1 T-cell responses. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and neoplasm.
