Abstract excerpt
Chronic inflammation is a strong risk factor for the development of cancer. Many previous studies have demonstrated that a transcriptional factor, nuclear factor (NF)-κB, plays an important role in the association between inflammation and cancer development, particularly tumor promotion and tumor progression. Although it is well recognized that cancer develops via stepwise accumulation of genetic aberrations, the...
