Apoptotic cell overload drives multinucleated giant cell formation after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer: molecular mechanisms and tumor-suppressive effects
Colorectal cancer is a common digestive malignancy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) can downstage tumors and increase R0 resection rates. In colorectal cancer specimens with favorable pathological regression after NAC, we observed CD68 + multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) preferentially localized in apoptotic cell-...
