“…However, it was of interest that, in their study, the median concentrations of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10, before surgery, were higher (8 and 15 pg ml À1 , respectively) compared with the results (3 and 5 pg ml À1 , respectively) in the present study. Nevertheless, consistent with the present study Galizia et al (2002) observed that the majority of patients did not normalise their cytokine concentrations following radical resection. The basis of the discrepancies between the present and previous studies is not clear.…”

“…However, in the present study, when the analysis was confined to those patients with stage I disease, neither C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 or interleukin-10 appeared to normalise on resection of the primary tumour. Galizia et al (2002) in a similar study design in 50 patients with colon reported that that both interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 concentrations fell by day 16 following resection. However, it was of interest that, in their study, the median concentrations of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10, before surgery, were higher (8 and 15 pg ml À1 , respectively) compared with the results (3 and 5 pg ml À1 , respectively) in the present study.…”

“…Already published data have presented contradictory results Table 1. Cytokine levels (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10) in sera of the healthy subjects and patients with UC, CD, or CRC related to preoperative serum IL-10 levels in CRC patients, pointing to a relationship between higher IL-10 levels and an inoperable tumor (Galizia et al 2002;Kamiñska et al 2000). On the other hand, our study was conducted in patients with operable CRC (Dukes' stage B), which may explain the contradictions.…”

“…This specific cytokine pattern seems to have a prognostic effect, since high IL-6 or IL-10 serum concentrations are associated with negative prognoses in independent cancer types whereas TNFα and IL-6 are recognized as master regulators of tumor-associated inflammation and tumourigenesis (23)(24)(25). Since there is a strong connection between IL-6 level and hepatic production of CRP, CRP level could be used as indirect measure of the tumor activity (26,27).…”
