“…Multiple studies indicated that marked levels of IL-17 mRNA and protein were present in patients with various malignancies, including ovarian cancer (Kato et al, 2001;Rogala et al, 2012), breast cancer (Nam et al, 2008;Zhu et al, 2008;Yang et al, 2012), non-small-cell lung cancer (Liu et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012c;He et al, 2013b), renal cell carcinoma (Inozume et al, 2009), lung adenocarcinoma , small-cell lung cancer He et al, 2013a), laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (Meng et al, 2012a), non-small-cell lung carcinoma (Kirshberg et al, 2011), prostate cancer (Haudenschild et al, 2002), Sezary syndrome (Cirée et al, 2004), multiple myeloma (Prabhala et al, 2010;Dong et al, 2012;Lemancewicz et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012c), pancreatic cancer (Kuang et al, 2010;He et al, 2011), colorectal carcinoma (Le Gouvello et al, 2008;Radosavljevic et al, 2010;Cui et al, 2012), breast cancer (Lyon et al, 2008), and gastric carcinoma (Zhang et al, 2008a;Meng et al, 2012b). In addition, considerable proportions of IL-17 were observed in subjects with malignant pleural effusions (Klimatsidas et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2013) and bladder carcinoma (Doroudchi et al, 2013).…”
