Özet

Background/aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on interferon-gamma, interleukin-6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, which are critical markers of the clinical radiation response of patients with locallyadvanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).Materials and methods: Thirty patients who were treated with CRT and 20 healthy controls were prospectively evaluated. Circulatinglevels of cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure. Post-CRT and pre-CRT levels were compared.Results: Post-CRT, TNF- and IFN- levels were significantly lower than pre-CRT levels in the NSCLC and GBM groups, respectively.The statistical analysis did not show any significant difference between the post- and pre-CRT IL-6 levels. However, the pre-CRT IL-6levels in the GBM group and post-CRT IL-6 levels in the NSCLC group were significantly higher than those of the control group.Conclusion: CRT affected TNF- levels in NSCLC and IFN- levels in GBM, with the levels of both decreasing significantly. The IL-6levels of the post-CRT NSCLC group were higher than those of the post-CRT GBM group. Irradiation-induced IL-6 may be responsiblefor tumor regrowth. Therefore, treatment with IL-6 inhibitors could be a potential therapeutic strategy for sensitizing NSCLC toirradiation in the clinic.
