In recent years there have been various discoveries connecting inflammation and lung cancer and clearly there is growing interest in this area of cancer research.The link between unresolved inflammation and cancer has been well established with estimates that 15% of cancer deaths are inflammation related. Evidence for this link includes thefollowing: a) some inflammatory diseases are associated with increased risk of cancer development; b) inflammatory mediators are present surrounding and within most tumors; c) overexpression of inflammatory cytokines increases cancer development and...
