Proinflammatory cytokines and colorectal cancer – the impact of the stage

Colorectal cancer is one of the most often diagnosed malignant tumors. In Kazakhstan, high incidence of CC is registered along with other oncology diseases. Despite a significant progress in the disease treatment achieved lately, CC is still one of the major reasons of mortality due to oncologic pathologies.

To study the samples MilliplexMap HumanCirculationBiomarker panel in blood serum was used. XMap-based Fluorescence immunoassay was implemented, which comprised magnetic-bead-based simultaneous fluorescence detection of IL-6, IL-8, MIF, FGF-2, SCF, TGF, TNF, TRAIL analytes. Proinflammatory biomarker concentration detection at different CC stages allows to reveal the dynamics of inflammatory response of the organism to tumor and to use them (biomarkers) in further diagnostic and forecast in particular in CC. As a result of our study, it was found that IL-6, which showed the brightest reaction, due to its range of change and considerable shift already in the I stage can be recommended as a component of a complex diagnostic panel. Such markers as FGF2 and MIF also have a role in CC early stage detection.
