Correlation of serum cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant levels with Helicobacter pylori infection and disease severity in gastric cancer patients

Table 4 Longitudinal changes in serum cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant levels in patients with gastric cancer

Disease status	Patients (n)	CINC level at baseline (pg/mL)	CINC level at 12 months (pg/mL)	Change in CINC level (pg/mL)	P value
Tumor progression	56	352.4 ± 130.1	415.7 ± 150.6	+63.3 ± 30.5	< 0.05
Disease regression	24	298.6 ± 139.8	224.3 ± 104.7	-74.3 ± 35.2	< 0.05

CINC: Cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant.
