A causal link between chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis is explored by reviewing
illustrative examples of specific cancers and causal agents and mechanisms. The causal …

A substantial body of evidence supports the conclusion that chronic inflammation can
predispose an individual to cancer, as demonstrated by the association between chronic …

Many common cancers develop as a consequence of years of chronic inflammation.
Increasing evidence indicates that the inflammation may result from persistent mucosal or …

Patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are at increased risk for developing
colorectal cancer. To date, no known genetic basis has been identified to explain colorectal …

The continued cancer risks associated with chronic inflammation necessitate the
identification of inflammatory molecules and the cancer pathways they affect. Evidence …
