Cytokines, chemokines and growth factors, associated with the wound healing response signature are highly expressed in both benign and malignant breast seroma fluid. a Quantification of array membranes. Mean levels from three independent studies of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors expressed in seroma fluid from benign (n = 24) vs. malignant (n = 35) patients are shown. b Functional analysis of cytokine, chemokine, and growth factor profiles from benign and malignant post-surgical seroma. Functional analysis indicates seromas are associated with wound healing related cellular processes
