Methods: We evaluated the serum levels of several cytokines with a pro-inflammatory profile (IL-8, MCP-1, IL-6, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-12 p40 and IL-12p70), and anti-inflammatory profile (IL-10 and TGF-β), in pediatric patients with NB using the ELISA method, compared to a healthy control group (non-oncology). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and neuroblastoma.
