Age and estrogen-dependent inflammation in breast adenocarcinoma and normal breast tissue [cohort_2]

Chronic inflammation promotes breast tumor growth and invasion by accelerating angiogenesis and tissue remodeling in the tumor microenvironment. The relationship between inflammation and estrogen, which drives the growth of 70 percent of breast tumors, is complex. Low levels of estrogen exposure stimulate macrophages and other inflammatory cell populations, but very high levels are immune suppressive. Breast tumor incidence is increased by obesity and age, which interact to influence inflammato...
