It was discovered that among invasive tumors in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Black/AAs exhibited a significantly higher proportion of DARC-low expression compared to White/EAs, and DARC tumor expression positively correlated with levels of the pro-inflammatory chemokines released by the SASP, CCL2 and CXCL8 [26]. Here, CXCL8 is linked to neoplasm.
