Metastatic disease is the final stage of breast cancer that accounts for vast majority of patient death. Mounting data over recent years strongly support the critical roles of the immune microenvironment in determining breast cancer metastasis. The latest single-cell studies provide further molecular evidence illustrating the heterogeneity of this immune microenvironment. This chapter summarizes major discoveries on the role of various immune cells in metastasis progression and discusses future research opportunities. Studies investigating immune heterogeneity within primary breast cancer and across different metastasis target organs can potentially lead to more precise treatment strategies with improved efficacy.
转移性疾病是乳腺癌的终末期,也是导致绝大多数患者死亡的原因。近年来,越来越多的数据有力地支持了免疫微环境在乳腺癌转移过程中的关键作用。最新的单细胞研究提供了进一步的分子证据,阐明了这种免疫微环境的异质性。本章总结了关于各种免疫细胞在转移进展中作用的主要发现,并探讨了未来的研究机会。对原发性乳腺癌内部以及不同转移靶器官之间的免疫异质性进行研究,可能会带来疗效更佳、更为精准的治疗策略。
