Correlation research between prognosis of NSCLC patient and serum levels of HGF and IL-6 / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the correlation between prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) patient and serum levels of HGF and IL-6. Methods Eligible 109 NSCLC patients and preoperative blood samples of each patient in our hospital from March 2013 to May 2014 were collected. Then the levels of HGF and IL-6 of serum samples were detected by using ELISA kit. All patients were followed up for 1 year. The neoplasm staging:67 cases were stagingⅠ-Ⅱ,38 cases were stagingⅢ,2 cases were staging IV. There were 79 cases with ad-enomatous carcinoma( ADC) ,26 cases with squamous carcinoma( SCC) and 4 cases with NSCLC. According to the TNM staging,there were 79 cases in pN( -) group,31 in pN( +) group,77 in pT(T1-T2) group and 28 in pT(T3-T4) group. Results The average concentration of HGF and IL-6 in serum were 860 pg/mL and 2. 7 pg/mL respectively. Analysis of survival indicated that,compared to those patient with lower serum level of HGF and IL-6,the survival rate of patient with high serum level was much lower. The difference was statistically signifi-cant (HGF,P=0. 019;IL-6,P=0. 002). The analysis of the patients with stageⅢdisease separately also indicated that survival rate of pa-tient with lower serum of HGF and IL-6 was higher than others. Conclusion The serum levels of HGF and IL-6 might be a effective indica-tors for predicting prognosis of the NSCLC paitents.
