Recent studies have found that ferroptosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of NSCLC.

Macrophages can polarize into different subtypes with distinct functions and characteristics in response to various stimuli, categorized as anti-tumor M1 and pro-tumor M2 types. In tumor tissues, TAM typically polarize into the alternatively activated M2 phenotype, exhibiting inhibitory effects on tumor immunity.
