Abstract

We investigated the relationships between tumor associated macrofages (TAM) and tumor tissues and their possible prognostic significance in a laringeal carcinomas of patients operated in our Department for sovraglottic or total laringectomy. In our analysis we found a positive trend in Grade 3, but we could not find any correlations in the other cases. That shows that TAM have antithetic activities in the life of neoplasia.
