Description

Marjolein Stip and co-authors wrote this 2023 review on turning the tumor's own guards into attackers in neuroblastoma. This childhood cancer surrounds itself with myeloid cells, white blood cells that build a suppressive web shielding the tumor. High-risk cases lean on that shield hard.

The review first maps what each myeloid type does for and against the tumor. It then sorts the counter-strategies into three plays: recruit the cells as effectors, as already happens with anti-GD2 therapy; block their arrival or remove them; or reprogram them from guards into attackers. A warning threads the survey: draining the swamp also drains potential effectors. The most promising routes sharpen existing antibodies, for instance by blocking the don't-eat-me signal. The authors chart a crowded but hopeful front.
