Abstract

The incidence of cancers generally increases with age, suggesting a close relationship between aging process and carcinogenesis, although the mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, an increase in low-grade chronic inflammation in the elderly, so-called inflammaging, has been suggested to contribute to cancer development. In this chapter, we describe the current understanding of the protumorigenic effects of inflammation and the role of inflammaging in carcinogenesis.
