炎症反应，健康卫士还是癌症帮凶？

任何事物都具有两面性，炎症反应也不例外。作为生物体内最常见的生理反应之一，炎瘟反应不仅可以消除细菌、病毒等外界因素的入侵，还是免疫系统用于清除病变细胞的工具，从而保证机体健康；另一方面，炎症可以促进肿瘤的发展、转移和恶变。解析炎症反应和癌症的关系，了解其中的分子机制，有助于发展新的预防和治疗癌症的方法。

Inflammation, Promoting Cancer or Protecting the Body Against Cancer？

Inflammation is a double-edged sword in tumorigenesis and tumor development. While it plays an important role in promoting cancer, inflammation is a major defense mechanism of the immune system in protecting the body against cancer as well as infection. The relationship between inflammation and tumor in different stages of cancer development is a key issue in cancer study. The aim of our 973 project is to gain a better understand of the role of inflammatory signaling pathways and thereby provides new ideas for preventing and treating cancers.
