CD5 Binds to Interleukin-6 and Induces a Feed-Forward Loop with the Transcription Factor STAT3 in B Cells to Promote Cancer

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the proportion of CD5(+) relative to interleukin-6 receptor α (IL-6Rα)-expressing B cells was greatly increased in tumors and showed activation of STAT3 in multiple types of human tumor tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Chronic Inflammation in Obesity-Associated Cancers

TL;DR: The connection between the different factors that can lead to the chronic inflammatory state in the obese individual, as well as their effect in tumorigenesis, is addressed and the association between obesity, inflammation, and esophageal, liver, colon, postmenopausal breast, and endometrial cancers is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary phytochemicals in breast cancer research: anticancer effects and potential utility for effective chemoprevention

TL;DR: Abundant evidence has been collected for beneficial effects of flavonoids, carotenoids, phenolic acids, and organosulfur compounds affecting a number of cancer-related pathways, and phytochemicals may positively affect processes of cell signaling, cell cycle regulation, oxidative stress response, and inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality of Life in Patients With Advanced Cancer: Differential Association With Performance Status and Systemic Inflammatory Response

TL;DR: Examination of the relationship between quality of life parameters, performance status (PS), and the systemic inflammatory response in patients with advanced cancer found systemic inflammation was associated with quality-of-life parameters independent of PS.

Inflammation and cancer

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that the tumour microenvironment, which is largely orchestrated by inflammatory cells, is an indispensable participant in the neoplastic process, fostering proliferation, survival and migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and cancer: back to Virchow?

TL;DR: A rationale for the use of cytokine and chemokine blockade, and further investigation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in the chemoprevention and treatment of malignant diseases is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage polarization: tumor-associated macrophages as a paradigm for polarized M2 mononuclear phagocytes

TL;DR: These functionally polarized cells, and similarly oriented or immature dendritic cells present in tumors, have a key role in subversion of adaptive immunity and in inflammatory circuits that promote tumor growth and progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear factor-kappaB in cancer development and progression.

TL;DR: This article showed that NF-kappaB provides a mechanistic link between inflammation and cancer, and is a major factor controlling the ability of both pre-neoplastic and malignant cells to resist apoptosis-based tumour-surveillance mechanisms.
