Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have emerged as significant contributors to cancer-associated pathologies such as metastasis, thrombosis, and organ dysfunction in preclinical models. We review recent discoveries of the involvement of NETs in human cancers and suggest tumor-induced NET formation as an interesting potential therapeutic target in oncology.Entities:
