A Blueprint for Cancer-Related Inflammation and Host Innate Immunity

| Sumario: | Both in situ and allograft models of cancer in juvenile and adult <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> fruit flies offer a powerful means for unravelling cancer gene networks and cancer–host interactions. They can also be used as tools for cost-effective drug discovery and repurposing. Moreover, in situ modeling of emerging tumors makes it possible to address cancer initiating events—a black box in cancer research, tackle the innate antitumor immune responses to incipient preneoplastic cells and recurrent growing tumors, and decipher the initiation and evolution of inflammation. These studies in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> can serve as a blueprint for studies in more complex organisms and help in the design of mechanism-based therapies for the individualized treatment of cancer diseases in humans. This review focuses on new discoveries in <i>Drosophila</i> related to the diverse innate immune responses to cancer-related inflammation and the systemic effects that are so detrimental to the host. |
