There is ample evidence that inflammatory processes and signaling play a critical role in the progression of most cancers (1), especially as potent initiators at sites of chronic injury (2). In these chronic inflammation–associated cancers (CIACs), tissue injury is caused by sustained or recurrent infection, irritation, or trauma. This distinct class of malignancies, which includes acid reflux–associated esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), smoking-associated lung squamous cell carcinoma,Helicobacter pyloriinfection–associated gastric adenocarcinoma, and inflammatory bowel disease–associated colon adenocarcinoma, is responsible for 20 to 25% of all cancer deaths worldwide, killing more than 2 million people annually. Compared with other tumor types, CIACs tend to have a poorer prognosis, attributable to a high propensity for metastasis and drug resistance. The underlying mechanisms by which chronic inflammation promotes the development of such lethal cancers are still poorly understood.
