Neutrophils Create an ImpeNETrable Shield between Tumor and Cytotoxic Immune Cells

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can promote tumor growth and metastases, but whether NETs impact the tumor immune microenvironment remains underexplored. In this issue of Immunity, Teijeira et al. discover that NETs shield tumor cells from cytotoxic immune cells, resulting in impaired tumor clearance.
