Restoring inflammatory balance as a potential preventive strategy for inflammation induced cancer

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In contrast to the accepted notion that tumor-derived signals polarize macrophages toward a protumorigenic M2 phenotype during tumor progression, we recently discovered that the inflammatory microenvironment is capable of driving macrophages toward an M2 phenotype. Moreover, our data suggests that inflammatory education is prominent during the early phases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) suggesting that inflammatory modulation might effectively prevent HCC.
