Inflammation and Cancer: IL-6 and STAT3 Complete the Link
Open accessAbstract
There is growing evidence that tumors are sustained and promoted by inflammatory signals from the surrounding microenvironment. Two papers by Grivennikov et al. and Bollrath et al. in this issue of Cancer Cell demonstrate the importance of the interleukin-6 family of proinflammatory cytokines and their downstream effector STAT3 in colitis-associated colon cancer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
