title: [Changes in serum IL-2 and sIL-2R levels in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma before and after treatment and their clinical significance].
abstract: Serum IL-2 and sIL-2R levels were measured with sandwith ELISA assay before and after surgery or transarterial embolization in 19 cases of primary hepatic carcinoma. The results show that pretreatment IL-2 levels of patients were significantly lower and sIL-2R expression was higher than those of normal control. IL-2 levels of patient were increased and sIL-2R expression was decreased after treatment. The results suggest that the changes of IL-2 level and sIL-2R expression may be closely related to treatment, recurrence and prognosis of patients with primary hepatic carcinoma.
