title: Molecular interactions of acute phase serum amyloid A: possible involvement in carcinogenesis.
abstract: Acute phase serum amyloid A (A-SAA) is a well-known marker of inflammation. The present review summarizes data on the regulation of A-SAA expression, signaling pathways which it is involved in, its effects, and possible influences on progression of malignant tumors.
