Interleukin-8 as a candidate for thymoma identification and recurrence surveillance

Imaging methods, such as CT or MRI, cannot provide accurate diagnosis between malignant thymomas and other thymic abnormalities. Here the authors show that the levels of IL-8 in circulating naive T cells are elevated in patients with thymoma compared with other thymic masses, proposing IL-8 as a can...

Sumario:Imaging methods, such as CT or MRI, cannot provide accurate diagnosis between malignant thymomas and other thymic abnormalities. Here the authors show that the levels of IL-8 in circulating naive T cells are elevated in patients with thymoma compared with other thymic masses, proposing IL-8 as a candidate biomarker for thymoma diagnosis and recurrence surveillance.
