Özet

Objectives: We investigated the role of cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cachexia development in newly diagnosed nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: We evaluated 44 (M/F:41/3) NSCLC patients and 12 (M/F:10/2) age matched healthy smokers. NSCLC cases with a weight loss of >= 10% consisted the cachectic group (n:23, M/F:21/2) and the ones with < 10% weight loss consisted the noncachectic group (n:21, M/f:19/2).
