Chemokines are key players of the cancer-related inflammation. Chemokine ligands and
receptors are downstream of genetic events that cause neoplastic transformation and are
abundantly expressed in chronic inflammatory conditions which predispose to cancer.
Components of the chemokine system affect multiple pathways of tumor progression
including: leukocyte recruitment, neo-angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation and survival,
invasion and metastasis. Evidence in pre-clinical and clinical settings suggests that the …
Chemokines are key players of the cancer-related inflammation. Chemokine ligands and receptors are downstream of genetic events that cause neoplastic transformation and are abundantly expressed in chronic inflammatory conditions which predispose to cancer. Components of the chemokine system affect multiple pathways of tumor progression including: leukocyte recruitment, neo-angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and metastasis. Evidence in pre-clinical and clinical settings suggests that the chemokine system represents a valuable target for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies
