Chronic intestinal inflammation has been linked to the development of colorectal cancer.
Recent studies suggest that during chronic inflammation, the innate immune system may
facilitate colon tumorigenesis in genetically predisposed individuals in response to certain
indigenous microorganisms and/or cell remnants. In these individuals, therapeutic
approaches that reroute the innate immune system's inflammatory and antimicrobial
activities might help prevent colon tumorigenesis and metastasis. Cancer Res; 70 (5); 1749 …
