The levels of galectin-3 (Gal-3) protein, which contribute to the immunosuppression, are increased during tumor progression in many cancers. Gal-3 contributes to immunosuppression by inducing M2 (wound healing) polarization of tumor-associated macrophages and playing a role in the survival and metastasis of cancer cells.}, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/j3860762v}, recid = {8068}, address = {2020}, }
