[The levels of selected cytokines in patients with colorectal cancer--a preliminary report].
The aim of the study was to examine the frequency of the increased serum levels selected cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10) in colorectal cancer and correlation their concentrations with stage of the tumour. The study was done on group consisted of 30 diagnosed colorectal cancer patients, with different location and stage of the tumour. Dukes described the used classification of stage of the tumour. The results were compared with control group consisted of 10 healthy persons. The cytokines were assayed by ELISA method (R&D Systems Minneapolis). In colorectal cancer group the serum levels of IL-6 were increased 3.5 times, IL-8--5 times and IL-10--13 times in comparison with control group. The serum levels of IL-6 and IL-8 increased with stages of the tumour, whereas IL-10 only in stage D. The serum levels of IL-4 were never elevated. This results permit for further study on usefulness of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 as a markers for colorectal cancer in clinical use.
