An inflammatory component is present in the microenvironment of most neoplastic tissues, including those not causally related to an obvious inflammatory process. Epidemiological studies have revealed that chronic inflammation predisposes to different forms of cancer and that usage of non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory agents is associated with protection against various tumors. The infiltration of white blood cells, the presence of polypeptide messengers of inflammation (cytokines and chemokines), the occurrence of tissue remodeling and angiogenesis, represent hallmarks of cancer-associated inflammation.
