Popis: | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The prognostic significance of interleukin-23 in colorectal cancer remains unclear. We designed this study to investigate the association between colorectal cancer and interleukin-23 (IL-23) or interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) expression and the resulting clinical features and survival. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining was performed for IL-23 and IL-23R in colorectal cancer samples. H-score was calculated to compare the expression of IL-23 and IL-23R. The median of H-score was used as the cut-off value to separate patients into high or low expression groups. The differences in clinicopathological features were evaluated. Cox regression hazard ratios were used for survival analysis. RESULTS A total of 129 colorectal cancer patients were enrolled. H-score for the late TNM stage patients was higher than that for the early TNM stage patients (P = 0.002). Patients with high IL-23 expression were associated with advanced pathological T category (P |
