The possible association between antioxidant capacity and patient-related features (sex, age, BMI, HGB, WBC, general health condition expressed in terms of ASA or CCS score, and inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα) as well as disease-related factors (histological grade, overall TNM stage, depth of tumor invasion (T), lymph node metastasis (N), and distant metastasis (M)) was evaluated. Here, TNF is linked to metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
