ABSTRACT
To determine the expression of chemokine 8 (CXCL8) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and analyze its correlation with tumor characteristics and patient prognosis. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 149 NSCLC patients treated between January 2016 and April 2018, measuring serum CXCL8 expression upon admission or prior to treatment. The clinical characteristics, including lymph node metastasis and staging, based on CXCL8 expression levels, were analyzed. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves was drawn to assess its predictive value for lymph node metastasis and staging in NSCLC patients. Furthermore, the Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to assess the impact of CXCL8 on 5-year survival in NSCLC Patients. NSCLC patients exhibited significantly higher serum CXCL8 levels than those with benign tumors (P<0.001), with the high CXCL8 expression group showing a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis or stage III NSCLC (P<0.01). CXCL8 was identified as an independent predictor of lymph node metastasis (AUC=0.730) and higher TNM stage (AUC=0.708), as well as a validated biomarker for predicting five-year survival in NSCLC patients. This study highlights the strong association between CXCL8 expression in NSCLC and patient prognosis, particularly regarding lymph node metastasis and clinical staging, suggesting the need for further research to explore CXCL8's specific role in the tumor microenvironment and its impact on different NSCLC subtypes.
