Moreover, the frequency of ILC2s in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) compartment is higher in gastric cancer patients than in healthy volunteers and ILC2-associated cytokines, such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, are increased in gastric cancer patients, both at mRNA and protein level in PBMCs and plasma, respectively. This evidence concerns the gene IL5 and gastric cancer.
