Oxidative stress and inflammation is cancer?

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

At least 40% of human cancers are associated with aberrant ERK pathway activity (ERKp).

ERK expression is critical for development and their hyperactivation plays a major role in cancer development and progression.

Prolonged oxidative stress contributes to cancer initiation and progression through several biological mechanisms.

Oxidative stress, characterized by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells, plays a critical role in the development of cancer by affecting genomic stability and signaling pathways within the cellular microenvironment.

Inflammation predisposes to the development of cancer and promotes all stages of tumorigenesis.
