Patients undergoing surgery for cancer are especially susceptible, facing a significantly increased risk compared to the general population. Prompt diagnosis is essential for optimal treatment outcomes. This study investigates the expression levels of IL-17 and CD4\/CD25 in postoperative surgical oncology patients diagnosed with sepsis and examines their association with various clinicopathological parameters, including mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Peripheral blood samples were collected 48 h following admission to the surgical ICU.

The expression of IL-17 and CD4\/CD25 was significantly higher in septic patients compared to non-septic patients, demonstrating high diagnostic performance. Additionally, elevated IL-17 expression was strongly associated with an increased risk of mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study provides insight into immune dysregulation in postoperative cancer patients with sepsis, highlighting the dual arms of active inflammation and immunoparalysis. Elevated IL-17 levels, coupled with Treg activation, were linked to poorer outcomes. Therapeutic strategies that target IL-17 signaling and modulate Treg activity may help restore immune balance and improve prognosis in immunocompromised individuals. Furthermore, developing predictive models using machine learning to classify sepsis severity based on immune markers could enhance diagnosis and prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03946320251375162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,29]],"date-time":"2025-09-29T09:04:59Z","timestamp":1759136699000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Flow cytometry-based evaluation of CD4\/CD25 and IL-17 expression in sepsis of cancer surgical patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4564-8073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed Samir","family":"Abdelhafiz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Pathology, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asmaa","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Abbassia Chest Hospital, Ministry of Health and Population, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Walaa Y","family":"Elsabeeny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, Surgical Critical Care and Pain Management, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Fahmy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, Surgical Critical Care and Pain Management, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Merhan A","family":"Fouda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Pathology, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahmoud Ali","family":"Ayoub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Pathology, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marwa","family":"Hanafi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Pathology, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.0287"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CCM.0000000000000710"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2021.636547"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.129.6.1432"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MCC.0000000000001078"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7861\/clinmed.2023-0408"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jointm.2024.07.005"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/14787210.2014.920253"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bja\/aei257"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/14787210.2016.1154787"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/cc2877"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25169010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2020.01558"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1205311"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmii.2012.06.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.36740\/WLek202406104"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofy313"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CCM.0000000000005357"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2017.03.125"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_21_2","first-page":"52241","article-title":"Flow cytometry protocols for surface and intracellular antigen analyses of neural cell types","volume":"94","author":"Menon V","year":"2014","unstructured":"Menon V, Thomas R, Ghale AR, et al.
