Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, with 30 % being metastatic breast cancer. Cancer is known to be a comorbid Covid-19 infection. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is one of the findings of inflammatory activity due to Covid-19 infection. We report IL-6 levels as a prognostic factor for survival rate in patients with liver metastatic breast cancer.
We report five cases of liver metastatic breast cancer with various types of primary breast cancer. All patients are infected with Covid-19. IL-6 levels were reported to be elevated in all five patients. All patients were treated according to the national guidelines for the care of Covid-19 patients. All patients are reported to have deceased after being treated for Covid-19 infection.
Metastatic breast cancer has a low prognostic rate. Cancer has been recognized as one of the comorbidities and increases the severity and mortality of Covid-19 infection. Elevated levels of IL-6 are caused by an immune response to infection, and can worsen the outcome of breast cancer patients. Changes in IL-6 levels implicate the survival rate of metastatic breast cancer patients and outcomes during the treatment of Covid-19 infection.
Elevated levels of IL-6 can be a prognostic factor of the survival rate of metastatic breast cancer patients during the treatment of Covid-19 infection.
乳腺癌是女性中最常见的癌症类型,其中30%为转移性乳腺癌。癌症被认为是新冠病毒19感染的合并症。白细胞介素-6(IL-6)是新冠病毒19感染引起的炎症活动的表现之一。我们报告IL-6水平作为肝转移性乳腺癌患者生存率的预后因素。
我们报告了5例患有不同类型原发性乳腺癌的肝转移性乳腺癌病例。所有患者均感染了新冠病毒19。据报告,所有5例患者的IL-6水平均升高。所有患者均按照国家新冠病毒19患者护理指南进行治疗。据报告,所有患者在接受新冠病毒19感染治疗后均已死亡。
转移性乳腺癌的预后率较低。癌症已被确认为合并症之一,并会增加新冠病毒19感染的严重程度和死亡率。IL-6水平升高是由对感染的免疫反应引起的,会使乳腺癌患者的预后恶化。IL-6水平的变化与转移性乳腺癌患者的生存率以及新冠病毒19感染治疗期间的预后有关。
IL-6水平升高可能是新冠病毒19感染治疗期间转移性乳腺癌患者生存率的预后因素。
