Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study compares the individual mean IFN production value of more than 5 times measurements among healthy subjects, cancer survivors over 5 years and cancer survivors less than five years. The mean IFN value in patients who survived cancer for more than five years was significantly higher than in short survivors and was similar to IFN levels in healthy subjects. These results suggest that IFN production tests are useful to make prognostic predictions for cancer patients. As part of an initiative to provide health support to residents in Fukushima, evacuees living in temporary houses were given blood tests including IFN production test, and were asked to complete lifestyle related questionnaires. We found a correlation between IFN production ability and psychological well-being; this correlation differed between males and females. Our study also highlighted areas where residents need more individualized support.
