Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were described more than one decade ago, but recently, the interest in these structures has increased due to their involvement in cancer progression, cancer-related thrombosis, and development of metastasis. This protumoral role of NETs strengthens their potential as new prognostic markers of cancer.
中性粒细胞胞外陷阱(NETs)在十多年前就已被描述,但最近,由于它们参与癌症进展、癌症相关血栓形成和转移的发展,人们对这些结构的兴趣有所增加。NETs的这种促肿瘤作用增强了它们作为癌症新预后标志物的潜力。
