Abstract

Objective: Pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of lymphoma, and recent studies have shown that cytokines can be used as prognostic markers. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients with high levels of serum interleukin-6 (s-IL6) and serum vascular endothelial growth factor (s-VEGF) have poor prognosis and shorter survival time. We aimed to determine pre-treatment levels of s-IL6 and s-VEGF and their relation with known prognostic markers, especially International Prognostic Index (IPI) scores, and to examine their effects on overall survival in newly diagnosed, untreated aggressive NHL patients. Materials and Methods: The study included 51 newly diagnosed NHL patients and 17 healthy controls. Blood samples were obtained to study s-IL6 and s-VEGF cytokine levels. Results: Patients with aggressive NHL diagnosis had higher s-VEGF and s-IL6 levels than the healthy population. If the s-IL6 levels of patients were above the cut-off levels, the overall survival time was shorter. There was no relation between s-VEGF and overall survival time. Conclusion: s-IL6 is an independent prognostic factor that may be included in IPI risk classification. In addition to the s-IL6 level, age, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, beta-2 microglobulin, WHO performance status, and IPI score are independent prognostic factors that are effective, especially for overall survival, in the clinical follow-up of NHL patients. Key Words: s-IL6, s-VEGF, Lymphoma, Overall survival

Özet

Amaç: Pro-inflamatuvar ve pro-angiogenik sitokinlerin, lenfomanın patogenezinde önemli rolleri olduğu kadar son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda sitokinlerin prognostik birer belirteç olarak da kullanılabileceği gösterilmiştir. s-IL6 ve s-VEGF düzeyleri yüksek olan non-Hodgkin lenfoma (NHL) hastalarında prognoz daha kötüdür ve genel sağkalımları daha kısadır. Bu çalışmada yeni tanı almış, tedavi verilmemiş NHL hastalarında tedavi öncesi s-IL6 ve s-VEGF düzeylerinin belirlenmesi, bu sitokinlerin bilinen prognostik belirteçler ve özellikle International Prognostic Index (IPI) değerleri ile ilişkisinin saptanması ve genel sağkalım üzerine etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 51 yeni tanı konmuş NHL hastası ve 17 sağlıklı kontrol alındı. s-IL6 ve s-VEGF sitokin düzeylerini değerlendirmek için kan örnekleri toplandı. Bulgular: NHL ile izlenen hastalarda s-VEGF ve s-IL6 düzeyleri sağlıklı popülasyondan yüksektir. Hastaların özellikle s-IL6 düzeyleri cut-off değerin üzerinde ise genel sağkalımları kısa olmaktadır. s-VEGF ile genel sağkalım arasında ilişki saptanmamıştır. Sonuç: s-IL6, IPI risk sınıflamasına dahil edilebilir bağımsız bir prognostik faktördür. s-IL6 düzeyine ilave olarak, yaş, ESR, beta-2 mikroglobulin, WHO performans statüsü ve IPI skoru NHL hastalarının klinik takibinde özellikle genel sağkalım üzerine etkili olan bağımsız birer prognostik faktördür.
