Positivity of known tumor markers and chemokine growth‐regulated oncogene 1 (CXCL1) in gastric cancer patients based on lymph node metastasis status
| Lymph node metastasis | CEA | CA72‐4 | CA19‐9 | CXCL1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Negative (n = 31) | 0 | 2 (6.5%) | 1 (3.2%) | 3 (9.7%) |
| Positive (n = 65) | 4 (6.2%) | 9 (13.8%) | 5 (7.7%) | 19 (29.2%) |
| Low (<15) (n = 53) | 4 (7.5%) | 9 (17%) | 3 (5.7%) | 14 (26.4%) |
| High (≥15) (n = 12) | 0 | 0 | 2 (16.7%) | 5 (41.7%) |
