Abstract:Background
Breast cancer (BC) is a common and highly malignant disease. Recently, IL-17a was found to be associated with several human malignancies. This study aims to investigate plasma IL-17a expression in BC and explore its role in disease progression and its interaction with neoadjuvant therapy efficacy.
Methods
Plasma IL-17a expression in BC tissue samples from 54 patients who received neoadjuvant therapy were analyzed and assessed using immunohistochemistry.
Results
Statistical analysis showed that a … Show more
