The role of NLRP3 inflammasome in cancer is arguable, since there are suggestions of a protective anti‐tumorigenic role but also a pro‐tumorigenic effect, depending of the cancer type (Hamarsheh & Zeiser, 2020; Kantono & Guo, 2017; Karki & Kanneganti, 2019). This evidence concerns the gene NLRP3 and cancer.
