We found that concentrations of both IL-6 and TNFα were significantly high in the matched non-tumor and the matched tumor groups than healthy people (H) (P = 0.0289 and P < 0.001 for IL-6, and P = 0.001 and P < 0.001 for TNFα, respectively; Fig 2A), whereas IL-1β was not (P = 0.7156 and P > 0.9999; Fig 2A). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and neoplasm.
