Chemokines, the chemotactic cytokines have established their role in tumorigenesis and
tumor progression. Studies, which explored their role in oral cancer for protumoral activity,
point towards targeting chemokines for oral squamous cell carcinoma therapy. The need of
the hour is to emphasize/divulge in the activities of chemokine ligands and their receptors in
the tumor microenvironment for augmentation of such stratagems. This progressing

Summary
Chemokines, the chemotactic cytokines have established their role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Studies, which explored their role in oral cancer for protumoral activity, point towards targeting chemokines for oral squamous cell carcinoma therapy. The need of the hour is to emphasize/divulge in the activities of chemokine ligands and their receptors in the tumor microenvironment for augmentation of such stratagems. This progressing sentience of chemokines and their receptors has inspired this review which is an endeavour to comprehend their role as an aid in accentuating hallmarks of cancer and targeted therapy.
