Autophagy promotes tumor cell survival and restricts necrosis, inflammation, and tumorigenesis

TLDR
Limiting autophagy under conditions of nutrient limitation can restore cell death to apoptosis-refractory tumors, but this necrosis is associated with inflammation and accelerated tumor growth.

Self-eating and self-killing: crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis

TL;DR: The functional relationship between apoptosis and autophagy is complex in the sense that, under certain circumstances,autophagy constitutes a stress adaptation that avoids cell death (and suppresses apoptosis), whereas in other cellular settings, it constitutes an alternative cell-death pathway.

Release of chromatin protein HMGB1 by necrotic cells triggers inflammation

TL;DR: It is reported that Hmgb1-/- necrotic cells have a greatly reduced ability to promote inflammation, which proves that the release of HMGB1 can signal the demise of a cell to its neighbours, and cells undergoing apoptosis are programmed to withhold the signal that is broadcast by cells that have been damaged or killed by trauma.
