We examined eight key cytokines (Interleukin-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)) in the plasma of 104 lung cancer patients and 48 cancer-free individuals using the FirePlex Immunoassay. This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and cancer.
