Stomach cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Many people are rightly concerned about this disease. In this article, the study shows us how stomach tumors form. Stomach cancer has been shown, previously, to be correlated with chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is well known to be a risk factor for colon cancer. Previously we established a novel mouse model of inflammation-related colon carcinogenesis, which is useful to examine the involvement of inflammation in colon carcinogenesis. This is the first report describing global gene expression analysis of an AOM/DSS-induced mouse colon carcinogenesis model, and our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of inflammation-related colon carcinogenesis and the establishment of novel therapies and preventative strategies against carcinogenesis.
