Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) includes a family of signal-activated transcription factors which normally regulate responses to injury and infection, but which are aberrantly activated in many carcinomas. To review the activation and role of NF-κB in pathogenesis and as a target for treatment and prevention in carcinoma. Evidence from experimental, epidemiologic, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials cited in the literature are reviewed. Cumulative evidence implicates NF-κB in cell survival, inflammation, angiogenesis, spread and therapeutic resistance during tumor development, progression and metastasis of carcinomas. Non-specific natural and synthetic agents that inhibit NF-κB have demonstrated activity and safety in prevention or therapy. NF-κB activating kinases and the proteasome are under investigation for targeted prevention and therapy of carcinoma.
