We suggest that in colon malignancies as similar to pancreatic and lung cancers changes in APRP are associated with angiogenesis. Methods C-reactive protein CRP albumin IL-1a IL-1P IL-6 IL-8 IL-10 TNF-a midkine VEGF-A VEGF-C leptin adiponectin and ghrelin serum levels are studied in 126 colon cancer patients and 36 healthy subjects. Results We found statistically significant difference and correlations between two groups. We found significantly higher serum CRP IL-1a IL-1P IL-6 IL-8 IL-10 TNF-a VEGF-A VEGF-C and leptin concentrations in patients relative to controls p . We found lower levels of the serum albumin midkine adiponectin and ghrelin in patients compared to control subjects p . Conclusions Cachexia in patients with colon cancers is associated with changes in APRP cytokines and hormone concentrations. These biomarkers and cachexia together have a direct relationship with accelerated angiogenesis. This may lead to a connection between the outcomes in malignancies and the biomarkers. Introduction Cachexia due to cancer is one of the most frequent features of malignancy 1 it accounts up to 30-50 of cancer-related deaths in gastrointestinal tract malignancies 2 . Cachexia due to cancer is a complex metabolic disorder including loss of adipose tissue due to lipolysis loss of skeletal muscle mass elevation of resting energy consumption .
