A peripheral circulating TH1 cytokine profile is inversely associated with prostate cancer risk in CLUE II.
The authors evaluated the association between peripheral-cytokine concentrations and prostate cancer. They found that men with a prediagnostic circulating TH1 profile and higher IL6 may have a lower risk of prostate cancer, including aggressive disease. They concluded that identifying specific inflammatory cytokines associated with prostate cancer may lead to improved prevention and treatment strategies.
