TL;DR: Among alcohol drinkers, the XRCC1399 Arg/Arg genotype was more frequently found in patients with esophageal cancer, and trends were observed among cigarette smokers and areca chewers, but they did not reach a statistical significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Among 104 cases of squamous-cell oesophageal carcinoma patients and 277 controls in Taiwan, after adjusting for cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and other confounders, it is found that subjects who chewed from 1 to 495 betel-year and more than 495Betel-years had 3.6-fold and 9.2-fold risk of developing oesophileal cancer, compared to those who did not chew betel.
Journal ArticleDOI
The AXL receptor tyrosine kinase is associated with adverse prognosis and distant metastasis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
TL;DR: It is concluded that AXL is a strong adverse prognostic factor for ESCC and Therapeutic agents targeting AXL have great potential to improve prognosis of ESCC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
miR-338-5p inhibits cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and cisplatin resistance in esophageal squamous cancer cells by targeting FERMT2.
Wen-Chun Lin,Wen-Chun Lin,Li-Han Chen,Yao-chin Hsieh,Pei-Wen Yang,Liang-Chuan Lai,Eric Y. Chuang,Jang-Ming Lee,Mong-Hsun Tsai +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that miR-338-5p may play an anti-oncogenic role in ESCC via repressing FERMT2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variants of EGF and VEGF predict prognosis of patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
TL;DR: The genetic variants and expression levels of EGF and VEGF can serve as prognostic predictors in patients with advanced ESCC, and thus provide more information for optimizing personalized therapies for patients with ESCC.
