Conclusion. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) secrete interleukin 6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1) that can be down-regulated by L-leucine-methylester (LLME); however, there is no qualitative difference between function of TAMs and tissue
