    Purpose: The study investigated Interleukin-6 expression pattern across all stages of cancer. The research questions raised in the study were: Is there differential expression of Interleukin-6 across all cancer stages? W hat relationship exists between serum Interleu level and cancer stage? Methods: The prospective case-control study comprised sixty two (62) purposively selected cancer participants across all stages and age range 18 years to 72 years as well equal number of healthy volunteers from two medical centers in Nigeria. Three milliliters (3 ml) of blood samples was collected intravenously from the participants and centrifuged after 30 minutes of collection at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes to obtain serum. The serum level of Interleukin-6 was determined spectrophotometrically by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Data obtained were.. Read More»
