Serum IL-6, TNFα and CRP levels in Greek colorectal cancer patients: Prognostic implications

Abstract

Serum IL-6, TNFalpha and CRP levels definitely increase in CRC patients. Pre-operative serum elevation of IL-6 and CRP was thus found to be predictor of the prognosis of CRC patients. The clinical value of TNFalpha in CRC needs to be further investigated.
