When it comes to inflammation, everyone is familiar with it. When a certain part of the body becomes red, swollen, hot, and painful, it may be experiencing inflammation.
However, inflammation, although seemingly minor, can develop into major diseases, including cancer. Some even say that inflammation is the foundation of cancer occurrence and development, the "root cause" of cancer.
According to statistics, approximately 20% of malignant tumors worldwide are related to chronic inflammation. For example, chronic hepatitis may develop into cirrhosis, which is closely associated with later-stage liver cancer. EB virus infection may lead to nasopharyngeal cancer, and HPV infection may cause cervical cancer.
