    ARDS and cancer share common mechanisms involving immune dysregulation and inflammatory responses, highlighting their potential intersection.

  • 2

    Inflammasomes play a crucial role in both ARDS and cancer by regulating inflammatory responses and influencing disease progression.

  • 3

    Chronic inflammation from ARDS may create a microenvironment that promotes carcinogenesis, linking the two conditions.

  • 4

    Cancer therapies, such as immunotherapy and radiotherapy, may increase susceptibility to ARDS through inflammasome activation.

  • 5

    Future research should focus on strategies to prevent ARDS in cancer patients and explore repurposing FDA-approved drugs for both diseases.
