Tumor-associated macrophages’ (TAMs) origin, polarization, and dynamic interaction in the tumor microenvironment (TME) influence cancer development. They are essential for homeostasis, monitoring, immune protection. Cells from bone marrow or embryonic progenitors dynamically polarize into pro- anti-tumor M2 M1 phenotypes based on cytokines metabolic signals. Recent advances TAM heterogeneity, characterization, immunological responses, therapy described here. The manuscript details functions their role resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Similarly, TAM-targeted approaches, such as CSF-1R inhibition PI3Kγ-driven reprogramming, discussed address immunity suppression. Furthermore, innovative biomarkers combination may enhance TAM-centric therapies. It also stresses relevance of this distinct cell human health disease, which could impact future research
