Furthermore, growing evidence suggests that the massive release of inflammatory immune mediators, such as cytokines (interleukins) or CXC chemokines (CXCs), and their receptors (CXCRs), including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8/CXCL8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon (INF), transforming growth factor (TGF), CXCL1, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11/CXCR3, and CXCL12/CXCR4, plays a critical role in the development of breast cancer in elderly patients. This evidence concerns the gene CBLIF and breast carcinoma.
