How cancer is triggered by inflammation

A recent study demonstrates how cancer might be aided by inflammation. The research discovered that microRNA-155 levels rose in response to inflammation (miR-155). A decrease in DNA repair proteins as a result of this rise leads to a rise in spontaneous gene mutations, which can aid in the development of cancer. The results imply that medications intended to lower miR-155 levels might enhance the treatment of malignancies connected to inflammation.
