Abstract Objective  Retrospectively analyzing the CT features and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-expression status of patients with pathologically proven gastric cancers to investigate the potential correlation between them. Materials and methods  433 patients with gastric cancers confirmed by pathology underwent CT scan. According to HER2expression status, all patients were divided into two groups (HER2- negative [n = 300] and positive [n = 133]). CT features of primary gastric were reviewed and compared in both groups. CT findings were compared using Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, or the Student’s t test. Then binary logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the most significant differential CT features. Results  Compared with HER2-negative gastric cancers, HER2-positive gastric cancers showed lower N stages (63.16% vs. 28.67%; p
