Further, a previous study has showed that in serous OC, there was a strong relationship between CRP and interleukin-8.[19] In cancer patients, CRP supposedly expedites angiogenesis based on circulating levels of interleukins and vascular endothelial growth factors.[15] Since we did not consider studies that evaluated inflammatory markers other than CRP, our results show no significant associations between high or moderate serum CRP levels and serous OC. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL8 and cancer.
