Abstract

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy originated from nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. NPC therapy response could be predicted from histopathological type, but some patients with the same histopathological type, showed a different therapy response. Interleukin (IL)-10 expression is expected to be able to predict a better response of therapy in NPC patients. Purpose: To find out the correlation between IL-10 expression and histopathological type in NPC patients. Method: An analytic observational study with cross sectional approach towards 33 samples taken from the Oncology Polyclinic of Outpatient Unit of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Department, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens were obtained. The IL-10 expression was studied with immunohistochemistry using rabbit polyclonal antibody Anti IL-10. Assessment of the staining used Allred scale. The Fisher exact test was utilized to determine the correlation of IL-10 expression and histopathological type of NPC, with p value = 0.05. Result: The result of IL-10 expression in NPC patients with histopathological WHO type I NPC obtained 1 sample (8.3%) with strong positive expression and 2 samples (9.5%) with weak positive expression. In patients with histopathological WHO type II NPC obtained 2 samples (16.7%) with strong positive expression and 12 samples (57.1%) with weak positive expression. In patients with histopathological WHO type III NPC obtained 9 samples (75%) with strong expression and 7 samples (33.3%) with weak positive expression. Conclusion: There was moderate positive correlation between IL-10 expression and histopathological type in NPC patients.
