A comprehensive overview of breast cancer development and progression suggests that the
process is influenced by intrinsic properties of the tumor cells, as well as by
microenvironmental factors. Indeed, in breast carcinoma, an intensive interplay exists
between the tumor cells on one hand, and inflammatory cells/cytokines/chemokines on the
other. The purpose of the present review is to outline the reciprocal interactions that exist
between these different elements, and to shed light on their potential involvement in breast …
