Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that is involved in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -174G/C in IL-6 on the prognosis and pain tolerance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 434 patients with NSCLC, which was...
