Local cytokine levels as prognostic factors for early relapse of non-muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma

The aim of our study is to assess the local cytokine levels as prognostic factors for early relapse in NMIBC patients. 75 patients with were enrolled study: 51 primary and 24 initially recurrent NMIBC, LG HG tumors diagnosed each group. Patients monitored during 9 months after treatment: TURB chemotherapy (No. 6). During samples taken, supernatants obtained tissue measured (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, TNFα, IFNγ, IL-8) by ELISA test. results showed that relapses 15 (46.8%) 11 (45%) matching there was no difference depending upon tumor grade. In both amounts cytokines maximal: they exceeded ones from 7.1 (IFNγ) 300 (IL-6) while - 2.0 (IL-10) 9.7 (IL-6). IL-1β, IL-8 higher those which relapsed 6-9 compared didn't, though their much lower than manifested (from 2.6 times IFNy 150 IL-6). A similar trend, not all same cytokines, observed tumors: IL-18 TNFα treatment. increase 2 cytokines' common (IL-6 IL-10). This finding might be considered a new factor relapse. We conclude related some immune mechanisms, namely hyperproduction especially IL-6 IL-8, IFNγ could have an impact on — tumors. Taking into account signaling pathways IL-10 like JAK/STAT, these transcription potential targets effective approaches
