TLDR
Using the K14-HPV16 mouse model of squamous carcinogenesis, it is reported that B cells and humoral immunity foster cancer development by activating FcGamma receptors (FcgammaRs) on resident and recruited myeloid cells.

Alternative Activation of Macrophages: Mechanism and Functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess recent research in this field, argue for a restricted definition, and explore pathways by which the T helper 2 (Th2) cell cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 mediate their effects on macrophage cell biology, their biosynthesis, and responses to a normal and pathological microenvironment.

MMP-9 supplied by bone marrow-derived cells contributes to skin carcinogenesis

TL;DR: The matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9/gelatinase B is upregulated in angiogenic dysplasias and invasive cancers of the epidermis in a mouse model of multi-stage tumorigenesis elicited by HPV16 oncogenes, suggesting inflammatory cells can be coconspirators in carcinogenesis.
