Abstract
Although inflammation and metastasis are two well-known hallmarks of malignant disease, the relationship between inflammation and lymphatic metastasis is an unexplored research area. We recently elucidated a sophisticated mechanism by which TNFα-induced tumor inflammation conscripts macrophage-mediated VEGF-C-VEGFR3 signaling in lymphangiogenesis and metastasis.Entities:
