Potential role of M2 TAMs around lymphatic vessels during lymphatic invasion in papillary thyroid carcinoma

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine whether lymphatic invasion in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) occurs when tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) injure lymphatic vessels together with cancer cells. While there was no difference in the lymphatic vessel density in PTC and follicular thyr...
