Biological markers able to support detection of metastatic lymph nodes are sought after," scientists in Wroclaw, Poland report. "Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is overexpressed by many cancers and involved in cancer dissemination. We investigated the relationship between circulating IL-8 and clinicopathological features of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and evaluated the diagnostic potential of IL-8, with reference to the key angiogenic and lymph-angiogenic factors: vascular endothelial growth factors A and C (VEGF-A and VEGF-C).
