J. H. Sun, Fan, N., Zhang, Y., Sun, J. H., Fan, N., and Zhang, Y., Correlation between serum level of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 and poor prognosis in breast cancer, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

In this study, we investigated the correlation between serum chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 (CCL-18) and the prognosis as well as clinical characteristics of breast cancer. Blood samples from 207 breast cancer patients, 126 individuals with benign breast tumors, and 93 healthy women were collected. Serum CCL-18 expression was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Mann-Whitney’s U tests were carried out to analyze the relationship between serum CCL-18 and clinicopathological variables.
