Cancer-related inflammation, the seventh hallmark of cancer: links to genetic instability
Source: Carcinogenesis (2009) 30 (7): 1073-1081. doi: 10.1093/carcin/bgp127 Inflammatory conditions in selected organs increase the risk of cancer. An inflammatory component is present also in the microenvironment of tumors that are not epidemiologically related to inflammation. Recent studies have begun to unravel molecular pathways linking inflammation and cancer. In the tumor microenvironment, smoldering inflammation contributes […]
