Core Tip	Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine primarily secreted by leukocytes to activate the immune response at the site of infection or inflammation. As tumor-promoting inflammation is one of the cancer hallmarks, IL-1β then plays central roles in tumor-promoting activities in many cancers, including cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. On the other hand, by activating and recruiting immune cells into the tumor microenvironments, IL-1β also has anti-tumor effects depending on the subtypes of immune cells that respond and infiltrate into the tumor site. Whether it could be a promising target for future therapeutic development is then discussed in this article.
