PG - e118-24 LID - 10.5301/JBM.2012.9197 [doi] AB - This study aimed at assessing the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the control of pleural effusion (PE) and survival in patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma. The concentrations of the 3 cytokines were measured in PE from 79 lung adenocarcinoma patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and 23 patients with tuberculosis. Data were correlated with the efficacy of MPE control and patient survival. The level of MCP-1 in PE was significantly higher in patients with lung adenocarcinoma than those with tuberculosis. By contrast, the levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6 were significantly lower in patients with lung adenocarcinoma than those with tuberculosis. An MCP-1 level greater than 3,187 pg/mL (which was used as a cutoff point) indicated failure to control MPE (odds ratio [OR]=2.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.02-7.82, p=0.04). In multivariate analysis, MCP-1 was confirmed as an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR]=2.02, 95% CI=1.24-3.30, p=0.01). The level of MCP-1 in PE appears to be a reliable surrogate marker for evaluating the therapeutic efficacy in the control of MPE and predicting survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients with MPE.
