“The lymphatic system: toggling between immune surveillance and metastasis”
Lymphatic vessels play a crucial role in activating anti-tumor immune surveillance but also contribute to metastasis and thereby systemic tumor progression. Here we will discuss a metabolic switch that defines distinct lymphatic phenotypes that toggle between these two functions and regulate regional melanoma progression.
