[Research Progress on Inflammasome and Cancer-associated Thrombosis-Review].

Inflammasome is a complex of protein, which can recognize pathogen molecules and pathogens simulating human heat shock protein via pattern recognition receptors, thus it causes their own activation, sensitizes NF-κB pathway, induces the production of inflammatory mediators, leads the chronic inflammation and promotes thrombosis. Some studies reported that nearly 17% of the new tumors can be caused by chronic inflammation, and it seems that there is a complicated relationship between inflammasome and cancer-associated thrombosis.This article summarizes the correlation between inflammasome and cancer-associated thrombosis, and some of these theories have confirmed the relationship between them.
