ABSTRACT
An inflammatory microenvironment, either conferred by an underlying chronic overt or smoldering inflammatory condition constitutes a prerequisite and fuel to essentially all cancers. The complex reciprocal interplay of different cell types in the tumor microenvironment (TME) determines patient outcome. Apart from the actual tumor cells, local and recruited nonmalignant cells as well as the intestinal microbiome actively shape polarization and plasticity of cells in the TME, thereby augmenting protumorigenic and prometastatic inflammatory processes. Here, we address the universality of inflammation in carcinogenesis, review distinct forms of tumor related inflammation and highlight critical processes in the TME actively sustaining a nurturing incubator for cancer progression and therapy resistance.
