The result as shown in Fig. 3, The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-8 were significantly increased in the peripheral blood of patients with PCa than in the healthy control group; while, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ and IL-12p70 were higher in patients with PCa than in the disease control group (all p < 0.05). Here, IL10 is linked to posterior cortical atrophy.
