What is the role of inflammation in cancer (friend or foe)? Despite the plethora of data showing that inflammation drives carcinogenesis, acute inflammatory mediators such as IL-12, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-17 have been shown to enhance anti-tumor immunity. The intricacies and mechanisms responsible for this perplexing duality remain largely unexplored. The answers to this question may play a major role in designing the next generation of cancer therapeutics. Sid Kerkar
