Neutrophils are the first responders to inflammation and infection. Recently, an elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio has generally become a prognostic indicator of poor overall survival in cancer. Accordingly, heterogeneous ill-defined neutrophil-like populations have been increasingly recognized as important players in cancer development. In addition, neutrophil granule proteins released upon cell activation have been associated with tumor progression; this differential granule mobilization may allow neutrophils - and possibly associated cancer cells - to leave the bloodstream and enter inflamed/infected tissues. This review discusses and proposes how granule mobilization may facilitate neutrophil-mediated transport of cancer cells into different tissues as well as leading to different cellular phenotypes that underlie remarkable neutrophil plasticity. This concept might inform novel neutrophil-centered approaches to putative cancer therapies.
