Summary

The mechanistic link between CCL2 expression and macrophage infiltration are correlated with poor prognosis and metastatic disease in human breast cancer and the origin of these macrophages is defined by showing that Gr1-positive inflammatory monocytes are preferentially recruited to pulmonary metastases but not to primary mammary tumours in mice.
