CXCL9 and hepatocellular carcinoma: We observed that, in HCV-related HCC, the levels of IP-10, IL-2Rα, and MIG were significantly increased, with the IP-10 level showing the highest difference for around 3-fold (median value 950 [398 – 2586] and 2606 [1478 – 7454], for HCV- and HCV+ HCC, respectively) (p<0.001).
