Neutrophil clearance. In cancer, the clearance of neutrophils is also mediated by key signaling molecules. This process exhibits distinct characteristics in both the tissue and circulation [36]. Aged neutrophils, which have a shorter lifespan, express increasingly high levels of CD16, CXCR4, CD10, and CD11b. They can either be recruited back into the bone marrow through a CXCR4/CXCL12-dependent pathway or be eliminated by macrophages in peripheral tissues [142144]
