Cancer

Various forms of cancer are now believed to either have their origin in the inflammatory process or to be worsened by inflammation. In lung cancer, inflammatory signals can promote resistance to apoptosis, the process by which the body rids itself of cancer cells. Inflammation also promotes the multiplication of cancer cells as well as their invasiveness and their ability to spread throughout the body. Inflammation suppresses the immune system and triggers the secretion of factors that enhance angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels that feed cancer cells. Lung cancer develops in a host environment in which the inflammatory response has become unbalanced, promoting tumor progression. It is thought that inflammation has a similar tumor-promoting effect in other forms of cancer as well.
