    The discussion and references on page 2 involve the role of inflammation in bystander effects, in causing cancer and genetic mutations. This is mainly due to the cytokine TNF-alpha. It is associated with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and lupus. Cancer, autoimmune disease and genetic mutations all go together, they all arise from the same process of radiation exposure.
