High mRNA expression level of IL-6R was associated with better prognosis for patients with ovarian cancer: a pooled meta-analysis

Abstract Interleukin-6 acts as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. IL-6/IL-6R signaling pathway, in particular, has been proposed to be a pivotal cytokine promoting ovarian cancer progression. This study aimed to elucidate potential clinical and biological function of...
