Recurrent and chronic inflammation is now proven as an important risk factor for the development of many human cancers including esophageal, stomach, liver, colon and bladder cancers. Several factors are associated with tumor formation in prostate. There are both experimental and clinical evidences suggesting an association between inflammation and prostate cancer.
