There was a significant correlation between microvessel counts and interleukin (IL)-8 levels and between infiltrated macrophage counts and IL-8 levels in uterine cervical cancers. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the localization of IL-8 was similar to that of CD68 for macrophages. The prognosis of the 20 patients with high IL-8 (>1000 pg/mg protein) in uterine cervical cancers was extremely poor, whereas the 24-month survival rate of the other 60 patients with low IL-8 (<1000 pg/mg protein) was 67%. Therefore, this indicates that IL-8 might be a prognostic indicator as an angiogenic factor supplied from macrophages within and around the tumor.
