Tumor Elicited Inflammation

Here's a cool finding whereby some gut bacteria can trigger an immune response in the colon which can lead to cancer, even though there is no chronic inflammation (as traditionally described).

In the health physics world, there are some h.p. deniers who like to claim that radiation can be immuno-stimulative, which in some cases it is.  But that doesn't necessarily mean there is a lower risk of cancer.

But that's not the conclusion they like to hear.
