Core Tip This study investigates the prognostic significance of macrophage polarization in colorectal cancer (CRC), focusing on patients with and without metalloproteinase mutations. Using M1 (inducible nitric oxide synthase) and M2 (CD163, CD206) markers, macrophage densities were quantified and correlated with survival and clinical outcomes. While no significant differences in macrophage density or polarization were observed between groups, the study highlights a potential protective role of metalloproteinase mutations, as patients harboring these mutations demonstrated improved survival rates. This insight may guide future research into the tumor microenvironment and its implications for CRC prognosis and therapy.
