Effect of Serum Interleukin-6 Concentration on the Prognosis After Radiotherapy for Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Abstract
Conclusions: The prognosis of HCC patients receiving RT was worse for those with a pre-RT serum IL-6 concentration > 7.8 pg/mL than those with a pre-RT serum IL-6 concentration ≤ 7.8 pg/mL. Pre-RT IL-6 concentrations may affect the prognosis of HCC patients.
