ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were described more than one decade ago, but recently, the interest in these structures has increased due to their involvement in cancer progression, cancer-related thrombosis, and development of metastasis. This protumoral role of NETs strengthens their potential as new prognostic markers of cancer.
