CCR7 and CXCR4 expression predicts lymph node status including micrometastasis in gastric cancer

The chemokine receptors CCR7 and CXCR4 play a major role in the mechanism of lymph node metastasis from primary tumor cells. We postulated that their expression in gastric tumor cells could predict lymph node status including lymph node micrometastasis (LNMM). We assessed CCR7 and CXCR4 expression i...
