Ascitic IL10 level as a prognostic marker for peritoneal recurrence in patients with stage pT4 CRC. (a) Receiver operating characteristic curve for IL10 shows an AUC of 0.733 (p = 0.004). The relevant cut-off value is 14.0 pg/mL. (b) Peritoneal recurrence-free survival of patients with low (≤ 14.0 pg/mL) and high (> 14.0 pg/mL) peritoneal IL10 levels was significantly different (p < 0.001; log-rank test). AUC area under the curve, PR peritoneal recurrence.
