Inflammation in Carcinogenesis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Carcinogenesis is influenced by numerous factors, including a tissue microenvironment that is associated with chronic inflammation. While acute inflammation is a physiological response to tissue damage or infection with the goal of restoring tissue homeostasis, chronic inflammation can contribute to a variety of pathological conditions, including cancer. This review explores the complex relationship between inflammation and carcinogenesis, examining the mechanisms through which inflammation contributes to cancer initiation and progression by focusing on the roles of key inflammatory cells and inflammatory mediators. Ongoing efforts to target inflammation to reduce cancer risk and reduce cancer progression are also discussed.
