Abstract | BACKGROUND: It has became a hotspot research about the target metastasis of malignant tumor in recent years. It has been proven that metastasis of malignant tumor is a nonrandom but highlyorganized and selective process. The aim of this study is by analysing the expression of CC Chemokine Receptor 7 (CCR7) in pulmonary tumor tissue and metastasized lymph nodes in NSCLC, to explore the relationship between the expression of CCR7 in pulmonary tumor tissue and metastasized lymph nodes, and explore the significance. METHODS: RESULTS: 1.The expression of CCR7 in pulmonary tumor tissue was remarkably higher than normal lung tissue (P <0.005); 2. The expression of CCR7 between pulmonary tumor tissue and metastasized lymph nodes had no significant differences (P =0.177); 3. The expression of CCR7 had correlation with lymph nodes metastasis, The expression level in lymph nodes metastasis group was significantly higher than that in no lymph nodes metastasis group (P =0.016); 4. Along with the increment that clinical stage, the CCR7 expression had increases the high trend (P =0.003). CONCLUSIONS:
