A multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that CXCR2 expression in stromal cells, the expression of both CXCL1 in cancer cells and CXCR2 in stromal cells, T invasion (T2–T4), lymph node metastasis and peritoneal cytology were independent predictive parameters for the overall survival of the patients (Table 2). Here, CXCR2 is linked to metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
