Abstrakt:	Despite the efforts made, a serum marker reliable for the screening and follow-up of patients with gastric cancer has not yet been identified. The aim of this preliminary study was to test the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β, interleukin 8 and tumour necrosis factor α in patients with gastric cancer and in control groups. The statistical analysis of cytokines serum levels in the group with gastric cancer versus control groups has shown considerable differences (p<0.001) in their mean rates. The results indicate that the cytokines interleukin 1β, interleukin 8 and tumour necrosis factor a might perhaps act as diagnostic markers in patients with gastric cancer. Therefore, it is hypothesized that after more extended trials, their use in the screening and prognostic assessment of these patients could be a possibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
