Cover Story: Patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with either high-dose cyclophosphamide or high-dose paclitaxel were shown to have the same survival outcomes. However, increases in the plasma levels or SNP genotypes for IL-1RA and decreases in IL-6 and TNF-α levels were associated with improved prognosis for patients treated with cyclophosphamide but did not predict for prognosis in paclitaxel-treated patients. This suggests that the ability of some proinflammatory cytokines to predict outcome for patients with metastatic breast cancer may depend on the chemotherapy used for treatment. View this paper
