Inflammatory oncotaxis.

R P DerHagopian, E V Sugarbaker, A Ketcham

    JAMA
    |July 28, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Tumor recurrence may stem from dormant cancer cells reactivated by distant inflammation. Understanding inflammatory oncotaxis helps predict and manage metastatic recurrence in cancer patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Tumor recurrence after a disease-free interval suggests dormant neoplastic cells.
    • Metastatic foci activation may be linked to distant inflammation.

    Observation:

    • Inflammation can attract cancer cells.
    • Inflammation may facilitate cancer cell migration across capillaries.

    Findings:

    • The concept of inflammatory oncotaxis proposes a mechanism for cancer cell recruitment and migration.
    • Distant inflammatory sites are potential locations for tumor recurrence.

    Implications:

    • Physicians should consider inflammation as a factor in cancer patient follow-up.
    • Identifying and managing inflammation may be crucial for preventing tumor recurrence.
