Posttraumatic inflammation and, much less commonly, mechanical trauma itself may affect the clinical course of cancer. There is no evidence that a single incident of trauma can cause cancer, although posttraumatic chronic inflammation may be associated with carcinogenesis. In patients with cancer at the time of trauma, inflammation and repair processes may inhibit or enhance cancer growth, and trauma and its sequelae may increase the rates of invasion and dissemination.
创伤后炎症，以及更罕见的机械性创伤本身，可能会影响癌症的临床病程。没有证据表明单次创伤事件会导致癌症，尽管创伤后慢性炎症可能与致癌作用有关。在创伤发生时患有癌症的患者中，炎症和修复过程可能会抑制或促进癌症生长，并且创伤及其后遗症可能会增加侵袭和扩散的发生率。
