Since the enhanced production of IL-10 by human bronchogenic carcinoma has already been documented, in the present study serum levels of IL-10 were measured serially in patients with lung cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Thirty-one full diagnosed cancer patients underwent the radiotherapy procedures. The interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) serum levels were measured before therapy and after 3, 6 and 12 months after therapy. The interleukins concentrations were evaluated using a solid phase sandwich Enzyme-Linked-Immuno-Sorbent-Assay (ELISA). In all patients the serum levels of IL-10 have been found elevated. Due to the treatment they progressively declined to almost normal ranges in responders, while they remained elevated in non-responders. Serum levels of interleukin-6 have been elevated in the majority of our patients. After 12 months observation they also decreased, mainly in patients responding to the treatment. No correlation between serum IL-10 and IL-6 level has been found. The importance of serum IL-6 determination in lung cancer patients monitoring has already been established. The present study shows, that in spite of still unclear role of IL-10 in the process of carcinogenesis, it may be considered as a prognostic factor in lung cancer.

D018709 Statistics, Nonparametric A class of statistical methods applicable to a large set of probability distributions used to test for correlation, location, independence, etc. In most nonparametric statistical tests, the original scores or observations are replaced by another variable containing less information. An important class of nonparametric tests employs the ordinal properties of the data. Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data.
