Interferon-γ and Colorectal Cancer: an up-to date
نویسندگان
چکیده
Colorectal cancer still remains the third cause of cancer death among cancer patients. Early diagnosis is crucial and they can be either endoscopic or with blood biomarkers. Endoscopic methods consist of gastroscopy and colonoscopy, however; in recent years, endoscopic ultrasound is being used. The microenvironment is very important for the successful delivery of the treatment. Several proteins and hormones play a crucial role in the efficiency of the treatment. In the current mini review we will focus on interferon-γ.

Therapeutic use of biological response modulators in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs may propose a more efficient way for cancer therapy with fewer side effects. However, the related mechanism has not been well understood. Γ-interferon is a modulator of biological responses that inhibits the growth of malignant cells and mediates their differentiation. In this investigation, T cell lymp...
متن کاملEvaluation of preoperative elevation of serum c-reactive protein as an indicator for prognosis of colorectal cancer
Abstract Background : Cancer has not been elucidated in colerectal site. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a product synthesized in hepatocytes and has been reported to be up-regulated by such proinflammatory cytokines as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The significance of a preoperative serum elevation was evaluated using CRP as a predictive i...
