Popis: Introduction:Chemotherapy-associated mucositis often prevents completion of an entire chemotherapy cycle. The underlying pathophysiology of chemotherapy-associated mucositis has not been well established. The individual immunologic predisposition of patients seems to play an important role.Methods:One hundred fifty-six patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin followed by resection. Before the neoadjuvant therapy, monocytes were isolated from blood samples and were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and interferon. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure interleukin (IL)-10 and -12 levels and correlated with patients' clinical course.Results:Twenty-two patients (14,1%) developed grade III to IV mucositis (according to the NCI-Common toxicity criteria scales) within the neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Pretherapeutic low IL-10 (5500 pg/ml) levels were significantly associated with mucositis causing a therapy interruption or even cessation. Patients with high IL-10 (>43.6 pg/ml) and low IL-12 (
