Serum IL-10, CCL22, and CCL26 levels are linked with overall survival. Groups were divided into cytokine high and low populations using the median cytokine level as a cut-off and OS was visualized using Kaplan–Meier curves. Elevated IL-10 was associated with a shorter OS time (a), whereas elevated levels of CCL22 (b) and CCL26 (c) were associated with longer OS time. Combining cohorts of patients with favorable cytokine conditions also showed a survival advantage, e.g., for CCL22hi/IL-10lo (d) CCL26hi/IL-10lo (e) and CCL22hi/CCL26hi cohorts (f). Log-rank (Mantel–Cox) tests were performed to assess median survival time differences between groups and data were visualized using Kaplan–Meier curves. OS = Overall Survival, IL = Interleukin.
