Esophageal luminal stenosis is an independent prognostic factor in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND Predictive value of preoperative endoscopic characteristic of esophageal tumor has not been fully evaluated. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of esophageal luminal stenosis on survival for patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS The clinicopathologic characteristics of 623 ESCC patients who underwent curative resection as the pr...
متن کاملTumor length in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Is it a prognostic factor?
BACKGROUND Several researchers have determined the tumor length to be an important prognostic indictor of esophageal cancer (EC). However, controversy exists concerning the optimal cut-off points for tumor length to predict overall survival. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of tumor length and propose the optimum cut-off point for tumor length in predicting survival d...
متن کاملExpression of epidermal growth factor receptor is an independent prognostic factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND The overall survival of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains poor. Prognostic predictions in ESCC are usually based on histological assessment of tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis, but a biomarker with better predictive accuracy could be more useful. Because overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been associated with poor progn...
متن کاملTumor suppressor Prdx1 is a prognostic factor in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.
Peroxiredoxins (Prdxs) are a family of antioxidant enzymes that are also known as scavengers of peroxide in mammalian cells. Some reports have shown that the overexpression of Prdx1, which is one of the peroxiredoxins that is a ubiquitously expressed protein, was related to a poor prognosis in several types of human cancers. In this study, we investigated the expression levels of Prdx1 in esoph...
متن کاملUHRF1 is an Independent Prognostic Factor and a Potential Therapeutic Target of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Purpose: Ubiquitin-like with plant homeodomain and ring-finger domains 1 (UHRF1) plays an essential role in DNA methylation, and the overexpression of UHRF1 is associated with poor prognosis in various cancers. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) accounts for approximately 90% of esophageal cancer cases in China, but the five-year survival rate for patients is less than 10% due to limited...
