Epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide-78 (CXCL5) is a member of the CXC chemokine family and is upregulated in pancreatic [17], prostate [18], and bladder [19] cancers and in hepatocellular carcinomas [20], and the overexpression of CXCL5 is associated with advanced tumour stage, local invasion and metastatic potential. Here, CXCL5 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
