Additionally, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8) was identified as being highly expressed in peritoneal MQs from the ascites of ovarian cancer patients and was positively correlated with C-X-C chemokine receptor 1/2 (CXCR1/2) expression in tumor cells. This evidence concerns the gene CXCR1 and ovarian carcinoma.
