Abstract
In this review we will discuss several functions of neutrophils that might contribute to tumor progression. Furthermore, we will address in detail the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control modulation of neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment, such as recruitment to the tumor site (chemotaxis), prolonged survival and enhanced release of protumoral mediators.
