Patients and Methods Fifteen patients with H N epithelial cancer were recruited to this study. All patients received radiotherapy to the H N region with doses ranging from 50-70 Gy. Chemotherapy with cisplatin carboplatin 5-fluorouracil and taxanes was given to high-risk patients using standard chemotherapy protocols. Patients were evaluated for mucositis according to WHO common toxicity criteria and blood samples were drawn for inflammatory IL-1 IL-6 IL-8 TNF-a and anti-inflammatory IL-10 cytokine levels before and during treatment. Results A positive correlation was found between IL-6 serum levels and severity of mucositis and dysphagia specifically high IL-6 levels at week 2 were correlated with a need for PEG tube installation. A seemingly contradictory correlation was found between low IL-8 serum levels and a need for a PEG tube. Conclusion These preliminary results indicating a correlation between IL-6 and IL-8 serum levels and severity of mucositis and a need for a PEG tube installation justify a large scale study. Introduction More than 60 of all squamous cell tumors of the head and neck are treated by ionizing irradiation or radiochemotherapy and more recently by radiation combined with biological treatment targeted therapy such as Erbitux 1 .
