Lung cancer is the primary cancer fatality, disproportionately affecting African Americans (AAs), who experience higher incidence and mortality rates than other ethnic groups. Cytokines play crucial roles in cancer development. Eight key cytokines were scrutinized in 104 lung cancer patients and 48 controls. The levels of IL-8, IFN-γ, and TNF-α were elevated in both AA and White American (WA) lung cancer cases. IL-10 and MCP-1 exhibited pronounced elevation specifically in AA lung cancer patients, with MCP-1 being associated with lung adenocarcinoma. IL-6 levels were specifically elevated in WA lung cancer patients and associated with lung adenocarcinoma. The combined use of specific cytokines showed promise in diagnosing lung cancer, with IL-8, IL-10, and MCP-1 achieving 76% sensitivity and 79% specificity in AAs, and IL-6 and IL-8 combined offering 76% sensitivity and 74% specificity in WAs. These diagnostic biomarkers were validated in an independent cohort of 58 cases and 58 controls. These ethnicity-related cytokine biomarkers hold potential for early detection and addressing disparities in lung cancer outcomes. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among both men and women. African Americans (AAs) experience disproportionately higher incidence and mortality compared to other ethnic groups. Cytokines play multifaceted and crucial roles in the initiation, progression, and spread of cancer. Our aim was to identify cytokine biomarkers for the early detection of lung cancer in AAs. We examined eight key cytokines (Interleukin-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)) in the plasma of 104 lung cancer patients and 48 cancer-free individuals using the FirePlex Immunoassay. These findings were subsequently validated in a separate cohort of 58 cases and 58 controls. IL-8, IFN-γ, and TNF-α exhibited elevated levels in both AA and White American (WA) lung cancer cases. Notably, IL-10 and MCP-1 displayed significant increases specifically in AA lung cancer patients, with MCP-1 levels associated with lung adenocarcinoma cases. Conversely, WA lung cancer patients showed heightened IL-6 levels, particularly linked to lung adenocarcinoma. The combined use of specific cytokines showed promise in lung cancer diagnosis, with IL-8, IL-10, and MCP-1 achieving 76% sensitivity and 79% specificity in AAs and IL-6 and IL-8 combined offering 76% sensitivity and 74% specificity in WAs. These diagnostic biomarkers were validated in the independent cohort. The ethnicity-related cytokine biomarkers hold promise for diagnosing lung cancer in AAs and WAs, potentially addressing the observed racial disparity.
