Relationship Between Chronic Inflammation and Cancer: Interleukin-1β Overexpression Induces Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma in Oncogenic Kras Mice

Chronic pancreatitis is an established risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) development. Polymorphisms in the pro-inflammatory cytokine gene interleukin 1β (IL-1β), as well as high IL-1β or low IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) serum levels, are associated to worse prognosis in...
