Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Interleukin-12 (IL-12) plays an important role in antitumor immunity. Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is a novel IL-12 family member. The present studies demonstrate that IL-27 mediates potent antitumor activity. However, No studies have examined the association of these polymorphism with colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, we investigated the relationship of IL-12 and IL-27 gene polymorphisms and CRC. DESIGN...
