The Effects of Inflammation on Cancer

If you have Crohn's disease, if you have ulcerative colitis, then you are way more likely to develop colon cancer. Your immune system is making a mistake and it's attacking those great healthy gut microbes that are keeping your gut nice and balanced. It's just like this sort of cycle spinning in on itself. And I think the inflammation is kind of like, I think COPD is like the inflammation without the tumor part and lung cancer is like the whole package. That's my take on it.
