A Meta-Analysis of Association Between Interleukin Polymorphisms (rs4073, rs1800925, rs1179251, rs1179246, rs2227485, rs17855750, and rs153109) and Colorectal Cancer Risk.

Interleukins (ILs) play a significant role in triggering the inflammatory response in blood vessels and immune cells. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate the relationship between IL-8 (rs4073), IL-13 (rs1800925), IL-22 (rs1179251, rs1179246, and rs2227485), and IL-27 (rs17855750 and rs153109) polymorphisms and the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Four databases were searched up until October 13, 2023, without any restrictions, to find relevant studies.

A systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate blood levels of interleukin-6 in lung cancer patients.

Introduction: The exact mechanism responsible for inflammation in malignancy is not completely understood, but it is possible that interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a major role in triggering and maintaining an inflammatory response.

Aim: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the levels of IL-6 in the serum/plasma of lung cancer (LC) patients.

Material And Methods: The researchers searched four databases up to September 11, 2022, to find studies that reported on IL-6 levels in LC patients compared to healthy controls (HCs).

The Prevalence of Genus Alpha Human Papillomavirus in Women with Uterine Cervical Infection and/or Inflammation in Western Iran.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is strongly associated with risk of cervical cancer and genital warts.

Aim: The study aimed to report the prevalence of genus alpha human papillomavirus (HPV) types in women with cervical infection and/or inflammatory in Western Iran.

Materials And Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 435 women were clinically diagnosed with cervical infections.

Comparison Between Two Detection Methods for HPV16, HPV18 and P16Ink4a Biomarkers in Diagnosis of Abnormal Cervical Cytology.

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in many populations. While the Pap smear is a well established screening test it suffers from both false-positive and false-negative results in diagnosis of cancers and precancerous states. In this study, immunocytochemistry of the P16 biomarker and HPV-PCR were compared for their diagnostic potential.
