This study investigated the prognostic significance of an acute inflammatory IL signature (IL-12, IL-21, and IFN-γ) and a chronic inflammatory IL signature (IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, and CXCL1) for metastasis-free survival (MFS) using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox regression analyses in a cohort of 461 patients with early breast cancer. The gene discussed is IL5; the disease is breast cancer.
