Abstract excerpt

Patients with cystic fibrosis have increased risk for gastrointestinal cancer, lymphoid leukemia and testicular carcinomas. Chronic inflammation does not seem to be the only contributing factor. Mutations and epigenetic alterations in the CFTR gene may alter susceptibility to develop cancer. Lung cancer is up to now not frequently observed in CF patients. In lung cancer patients without CF low CFTR expression is...
