Although pro‐inflammatory signals such as IL6/JAK/STAT3 and IL2/STAT5 were positively correlated with LOX expression, previous studies showed that the increased immune infiltration in LOX‐high tumours was dominated by M2‐type macrophages (TAMs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) rather than cytotoxic T cells [43]. Here, STAT3 is linked to neoplasm.
