Comparing changes in absolute cytokine levels for IFNγ and the IFNγ-inducible cytokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 to the tumor-related cytokines EGF, HGF and VEGF highlights the strong treatment related effects for IFNγ-pathway related cytokines (Extended Data Fig. 5b). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL9 and neoplasm.
