abstract：:Cytokines induce inflammatory and immune responses in tumors after photodynamic therapy (PDT). Since there are no reports of IL-6 in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cells following PDT, we evaluated IL-6 expression in two different NPC tumors after hypericin mediated PDT. Interleukin-6 transcription was significantly upre...
