  Objectives: Establishing diagnostic and prognostic factors are very important in the management of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Our aim was to evaluate the clinical significance of serum EMAP-II, IL-19, and IL–10 in NHL patients for assessing treatment response and prognosis of patients. Methods: Serum EMAP-II, IL-19, and IL-10 levels were measured in the serum of 64 NHL patients before and after treatment with CHOP-based chemotherapy by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations of marker levels to the laboratory, clinicopathological and immunophenotyping markers were performed. Results: Serum levels of EMAP-II and IL-10 were higher before therapy and decreased significantly thereafter (P<0.001). High EMAP-II and IL-10 were correlated with serum ALT and blood urea respectively (P=0.043, P=0.020). Significan.. View More»
