    Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are key coordinators of immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment.

  • 2

    High-resolution multi-omics approaches reveal significant heterogeneity and plasticity among TAM populations.

  • 3

    Machine-learning integration of multi-omics datasets has enabled robust prognostic modeling centered on TAMs.

  • 4

    Novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, such as GPR35 and TIMP1, have been identified for potential cancer immunotherapy.
