A higher number of MSR1+ TAMs were present in the tumour stroma area than in the primary tumour and this was associated with multiple clinicopathological factors, poor prognosis, and shorter survival time in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (167), lung squamous cell carcinoma (168), lung adenocarcinoma (169, 170), uterine cervical adenocarcinoma (171), invasive ductal carcinoma (172), glioma (173), and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (174). Here, MSR1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
