That's for sure better, although the "what are five symptoms of chronic inflammation" question on the homepage is still giving strange answers (so much cancer!):
> Some examples of chronic inflammatory conditions that can lead to the development of cancer include solar irradiation, asbestos exposure (mesothelioma), pancreatitis, and infection. Other organs that appear to be more susceptible to the oncogenic effects of chronic inflammation include the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, prostate, and thyroid gland. Individuals who have suffered from ulcerative colitis for 10 years or more have up to a 30-fold increase in the risk of developing colon cancer. Chronic viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection also markedly increases the risk of liver cancer. These examples are mentioned in the provided text.
These aren't really symptoms of inflammation so much as consequences of inflammation.
