Das Roy et al. evaluated the hypothesis of the relationship between autoimmune arthritis and breast cancer metastatic capacity and demonstrated that in their in vivo model, breast cancer metastasized more to bone and lung with concomitant greater levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis alpha, IL-6, and macrophage colony stimulating factor, which may be similar to our hypothesized theory of increased PCa progression due to systemic inflammation [24]. Here, IL6 is linked to breast carcinoma.
