Predictive capacity of IL-8 expression in head and neck squamous carcinoma patients treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.

CONCLUSIONS: SCCHN have a significant increase in transcriptional expression of IL-8 in relation to non-tumour tissue. Tumours with high IL-8 expression have an increased risk of local recurrence after treatment with radiotherapy or chemo-radiotherapy.
