Background Previous studies that were based primarily on small numbers of patients
suggested that certain circulating proinflammatory cytokines may be associated with lung …

Accumulating evidence suggests a role for inflammation in the development and
progression of cancer. Our group recently identified a cytokine gene signature in lung tissue …

Background Despite growing recognition of an etiologic role for inflammation in lung
carcinogenesis, few prospective epidemiologic studies have comprehensively investigated …

Background: Chronic inflammation is associated with processes that contribute to the onset
or progression of cancer. This study examined the relationships between circulating levels of …

Our aim was to systematically review the epidemiologic evidence for an association of
circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6), an inflammatory cytokine and cancer. We systematically …

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide as well as in Taiwan.
Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is a multifunctional cytokine and has been implicated in tumor …

Objective We investigated the associations of circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) and
interleukin-6 (IL-6) with cancer risk. Methods We examined the associations of CRP and IL-6 …

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a pleiotropic cytokine that has also been shown to exert effects relevant
to cancer growth and progression. Cancer progression is believed to be contributed to by …

Inflammatory markers have been associated with increased risk of several cancers,
including colon, lung, breast and liver, but the evidence is inconsistent. We conducted a …

Characteristic cytokine patterns have been described in different cancer patients and they
are related to their diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment responses and survival. A …
