## Abstract Recent studies of various cancers, such as those of the breast, head and neck, bladder and lung, reported that 46β64% of somatic mutations in the Dβloop region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are observed. However, in esophageal cancer, only a low rate (5%) of somatic mutations has so far
## Background and objectives: It is generally accepted that the overexpression of p53 protein is associated with poor prognosis in breast, colorectal, and other types of cancer. however, the prognostic significance of p53 aberrations in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma has yet to be determined. w
