Interleukin-6 Receptor (IL-6R) Expression in Human Gastric Carcinoma and its Clinical Significance.

Interleukin-6 Receptor (IL-6R) Expression in Human Gastric Carcinoma and its Clinical Significance. Cancer Invest. 2019 Jul 22;:1-6 Authors: Simondurairaj C, Krishnakumar R, Sundaram S, Venkatraman G Abstract The aim of the study is to analyse the expression of Interleukin-6 receptor in different human gastric tissue and to correlate with the clinicopathological features of the patients. Immunohistochemistry was done against the IL-6R antibody and the Q-score was calculated from the staining pattern. Higher Q-scores were observed in tumour cells than the adjacent normal cells which were statistically significant. We also observed a significant correlation between the expressions of IL-6R and the clinicopathological features These findings suggest that IL-6R may represent as a therapeutic target for gastric carcinoma and serve as a prognostic indicator, as well.
