Prognostic Significance of Plasma Soluble IL-6 Receptor in Carbon-ion Radiotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer.
Background/aim: For patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC), carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) can safely deliver higher doses than conventional photon therapy, increasing the potential for long-term survival. However, achieving meaningful improvements in survival rates requires reliable prognostic biomarkers to identify patients likely to benefit from treatment.
Patients and methods: In this study, we measured plasma levels of soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) before C-ion RT and examined their association with the risk of distant metastasis (DM), local recurrence (LR), and overall survival (OS).
Results: Results showed that patients with higher plasma sIL-6R levels had a lower risk of DM [hazard ratio (HR)=0.53; p=0.033] and improved OS (HR=0.55; p=0.037). No significant association was observed between LR and plasma sIL-6R levels (HR=1.47; p=0.273).
Conclusion: These findings suggest that pretreatment plasma sIL-6R levels may serve as a prognostic marker for C-ion RT in LAPC.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
