Tissue injury can lead to neoplasm growth. For example, continuous injury to the liver due to excessive alcohol consumption can compromise the organ's function and increase the risk of carcinoma three to 10-fold. Likewise, chronic stomach ulcer infections of the H. pylori bacteria can lead to stomach cancer. Necrotic cell death can also spur neoplasm growth. Necrosis causes cell rupture, and this sudden release of the dead cells' contents inflames the system and triggers neoplasm progression.
