Abstract：【Objective】To investigate the correlation between IL-6 levels and neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. 【Methods】A total of 120 patients with locally advanced breast invasive ductal carcinoma who underwent preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in our hospital. The immunohistochemical results were all triple negative breast cancer. The level of IL-6 in peripheral blood before neoadjuvant chemotherapy was measured, and the correlation between IL-6 level and clinicopathological factors was analyzed. The correlation between chemotherapy and pathological complete remission (pCR) was analyzed. 【Results】The IL-6 level was (119.8±20.8) pg/mL. According to the median IL-6 level (118 pg/ml), the patients were divided into IL-6 low level group (60 cases) and IL-6 high level group (60 cases). There was no correlation of IL-6 level with age, menopausal status, tumor size and clinical stage in triple-negative breast cancer patients (P>0.05). IL-6 level was correlation with clinical stage and lymph node status of triple-negative breast cancer, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The CR rate in the IL-6 high-level group was lower than that in the IL-6 low-level group, and the effective rate was lower than the IL-6 low-level group , the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). A total of 25 patients had pCR after operation, and pCR was associated with clinical stage, IL-6 level, and tumor longest interval (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed clinical stage, IL-6 levels were independent factors affecting pCR. 【Conclusion】The level of IL-6 is associated with the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. The high-level IL-6 level of triple-negative breast cancer patients has a lower pCR rate.
