Macrophage infiltration is a hallmark of solid cancers, and overall macrophage infiltration correlates with lower patient survival and resistance to therapy. Tumor-associated macrophages, however, are phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous. Specific subsets of tumor-associated macrophage might be endowed with distinct roles on cancer progression and antitumor immunity. Here, we identify a discrete population of FOLR2+ tissue-resident macrophages in healthy mammary gland and breast cancer primary tumors. FOLR2+ macrophages localize in perivascular areas in the tumor stroma, where they interact with CD8+ T cells. FOLR2+ macrophages efficiently prime effector CD8+ T cells ex vivo. The density of FOLR2+ macrophages in tumors positively correlates with better patient survival. This study highlights specific roles for tumor-associated macrophage subsets and paves the way for subset-targeted therapeutic interventions in macrophages-based cancer therapies.

•FOLR2+ macrophages are tissue-resident cells found in healthy and malignant breasts•FOLR2+ macrophages reside in a perivascular niche in the tumor stroma•FOLR2+ macrophages interact with tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells•FOLR2+ macrophages positively correlate with T cell infiltration and better prognosis
A subset of macrophages marked by FOLR2 that interact with tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells are associated with favorable prognosis.
