CSF1 and neoplasm: Particularly, tumour and stromal cells release chemotactic factors, i.e. chemokines ligand-2 and -5, that recruit macrophages and contribute to macrophage polarization toward specific phenotypes, with interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, IL-23, immunocomplexes, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, or macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) diverting macrophage polarization through an M2/M2-like phenotype, which sustains many aspects of tumour growth and progression [40].
