Cancer-associated inflammation, in the form of local and systemic inflammatory responses, appear to be linked to tumour necrosis and have prognostic value in patients with colorectal cancer. However, their relationship with circulating biochemical mediators is unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine the interrelationships between circulating mediators, in particular interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis, and local and systemic inflammatory responses in patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer. Data were collected from preoperative blood tests for 118 patients who underwent resection for colorectal cancer. Analysis of circulating IL-6, IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), differential white cell count, C-reactive protein, and albumin were carried out. Routine pathology specimens were examined for tumour characteristics including necrosis and the extent of the inflammatory cell infiltrate. Body composition was examined using body mass index (BMI), total body fat, subcutaneous body fat, visceral fat, and skeletal muscle mass. Circulating IL-6 concentrations were significantly associated with increased T stage (P<0.05), tumour necrosis (P<0.001), IL-10 (P<0.001), VEGF (P<0.001), modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS; P<0.001), white cell (P<0.01) and platelet (P<0.01) counts, and low skeletal muscle index (P<0.01). When normalised for T stage, tumour necrosis was associated with IL-6 (P<0.001), IL-10 (P<0.01), VEGF (P<0.001), mGPS (P<0.001), neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR; P<0.05), white cell (P<0.001), neutrophil (P<0.05), and platelet counts (P<0.005), and skeletal muscle index (P<0.001). The present study provides, for the first time, supportive evidence for the hypothesis that tumour necrosis, independent of T stage, is associated with elevated circulating IL-6 concentrations, thereby modulating both local and systemic inflammatory responses including angiogenesis that, in turn, may promote tumour progression and metastases.
