CHARACTERISTICS OF IL‑6 AND IL‑10 LEVELS IN THE ORAL FLUID OF PATIENTS WITH CERVICAL CANCER UNDERGOING RADIATION THERAPY

Аннотация

Radiotherapy is an essential treatment modality for cervical cancer; however, its effects on inflammatory and immune responses remain an important area of clinical research. Cytokines play a crucial role in regulating inflammation, tissue repair, and immune homeostasis. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, and interleukin-10 (IL-10), an important immunoregulatory cytokine, are involved in maintaining the balance between inflammatory activation and its suppression.
