✦ Synopsis

Women with breast cysts lined by apocrine epithelium (intracystic Na/K 4 ) may have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than those whose breast cysts are lined by "flattened" epithelium (intracystic Na/K 4 ) . In this study, the concentrations of the cytokines, oncostatin M (OSM), intetleukin Z (IL-Z), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) were measured in breast cyst fluid, OSM, IL-2 and IL-6 having been shown to have growth-inhibitory actions on tumour cells. All cytokines were measured by "sandwich" enzyme immunoassays. IL-2 was not detectable in breast cyst fluid. OSM.
