Inflammation is a crucial part of our body’s defense system, but it can also play a villainous role in both aging and cancer.Acute, short-term inflammation helps heal wounds and fight infections. Chronic inflammation, however, lingers and disrupts healthy cellular processes. This disarray creates an environment ripe for cellular mutations, a key driver of cancer development.
Furthermore, chronic inflammation fuels the growth and spread of existing cancers. Inflammatory cells release molecules that promote tumor cell proliferation, blood vessel formation for tumors to thrive, and even metastasis, the ability of cancer to travel to other parts of the body. This complex interplay between inflammation and cancer highlights their critical influence on our health and lifespan.
