Another Direction for Clinical Oncology: Targeting the Anti-Inflammatory Response in Cancer
Approximately 15-20% of all cancer cases are preceded by infection, chronic inflammation, or autoimmunity at the same tissue or organ site. While inflammation is a natural response to tissue damage, chronic inflammation can become pathological. The role of inflammation in...
