Background/Aim: We have previously reported that chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) signaling was associated with the malignant progression of gastric cancer (GC). We thus examined the clinicopathological significance of CXCR2 ligands, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL7, and CXCL8, in GC. Patients and Methods: The expression of CXCR2 ligands in 590 GC cases was investigated by immunohistochemistry. Results: The expression was as follows: CXCL1, 46.2% (257/557); CXCL2, 20.7% (122/ 590); CXCL3, 17.1% (101/589); CXCL5/ CXCL6, 2.9% (17/589); CXCL7, 36.4% (215/590); and CXCL8 1.7% (10/585) of the cases. High invasion depth was correlated with CXCL1 expression. Lymph node metastasis and peritoneal cytology positivity were correlated with high expression of CXCL1 and CXCL7. The prognoses of the CXCL1-positive patients were significantly poorer than those of the CXCL1-negative patients (p
