Chronic inflammation is a major factor contributing to tumor growth from "summary" of Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD
Chronic inflammation is like a low-grade fire burning within our bodies, constantly fueling the growth of cancer cells. When our immune system is activated for extended periods of time due to factors such as stress, pollution, or poor diet, it releases inflammatory molecules that can damage our DNA and promote the spread of cancer. Inflammation creates the ideal environment for tumors to thrive by providing a steady supply of nutrients and oxygen. This continuous state of inflammation not only encourages the growth of cancer cells but also makes it easier for them to invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body. Furthermore, chronic inflammation can suppress the body's natural defenses against cancer by weakening immune cells and promoting the formation of new blood vessels that nourish tumors. This vicious cycle of inflammation and tumor growth can create a fertile ground for cancer to take hold and flourish.- Regular exercise, and stress reduction techniques, we can help prevent the development and progression of cancer. By reducing inflammation in the body, we can create a less hospitable environment for tumors to grow and improve our overall health and well-being.
