The diagram shows the interaction between innate immune cells, inflammatory mediators, DNA damage, and epithelial barrier disruption. Chronic activation of pathways such as NF-κB and STAT3 leads to a pro-tumorigenic environment that fosters cancer cell survival, angiogenesis, and metastasis Full size ...
