Objective: This study intended to assess the levels of Visfatin and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α) in Iraqi women who had breast cancer.
Patients and methods: In this study, serum concentrations of Visfatin and TNF-α were determined using samples from 90 Iraqi women (50 patients and 40 healthy volunteers).
Results: The current study's findings demonstrated that both Visfatin and TNF-α were highly elevated in patients with breast cancer (P>0.05), and they were also strongly associated.
Conclusions: This study has found an association between increased levels of serum Visfatin and TNF-α and breast cancer.
