TLDR
A resolution to this paradox based on cell death-mediated induction of tumor promoting inflammatory cytokines, which enhance cell survival and trigger compensatory proliferation in response to tissue injury is discussed.

Inflammation and Cancer: Triggers, Mechanisms, and Consequences.

TL;DR: How tumor-promoting inflammation closely resembles inflammatory processes typically found during development, immunity, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, or tissue repair is discussed and the distinctions between tissue-protective and pro-tumorigenic inflammation are illuminated.

Essential metabolic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumorigenic functions of miR-122 in liver

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that deletion of mouse Mir122 resulted in hepatosteatosis, hepatitis, and the development of tumors resembling HCC, demonstrating critical functions for miR-122 in the maintenance of liver homeostasis and have important therapeutic implications, including the potential utility of mi R-122 delivery for selected patients with HCC and the need for careful monitoring of patients receiving miR -122 inhibition therapy for HCV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunity, inflammation, and cancer: an eternal fight between good and evil

TL;DR: This antagonism between inflammation and immunity also affects the outcome of cancer treatment and needs to be considered when designing new therapeutic approaches.

Inflammation and tumor progression: signaling pathways and targeted intervention.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the initiation and resolution of inflammation, the crosstalk between tumor development and inflammatory processes, and highlight potential targets for harnessing inflammation in the treatment of cancer.

An endotoxin-induced serum factor that causes necrosis of tumors

TL;DR: It is proposed that TNF mediates endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis, and that it may be responsible for the suppression of transformed cells by activated macrophages.
