Cytokine concentrations in ascitic fluid according to peritoneal cancer burden. (a) Interleukin (IL)6 increased according to peritoneal cancer burden (p < 0.001 in K–W; p = 0.021 for ≤ pT3 vs pT4 and p < 0.001 for pT4 vs M1c in M–U). (b) IL10 increased according to peritoneal cancer burden (p < 0.001 in K–W; p = 0.030 for ≤ pT3 vs pT4 and p < 0.001 for pT4 vs M1c in M–U). (c) TGFB1 increased according to peritoneal cancer burden (p = 0.002 in K–W; p = 0.023 for ≤ pT3 vs pT4 and p = 0.153 for pT4 vs M1c in M–U). (d) IL5 was not significantly different according to peritoneal cancer burden (p = 0.017 in K–W; p = 0.024 for ≤ pT3 vs pT4 and p = 0.016 for pT4 vs M1c in M–U). Ordinates are plotted on a log scale. K–W Kruskal–Wallis test, M–U Mann–Whitney U test).
