## Background: Experimental evidence has shown that thymidine phosphorylase (dthdpase) is identical to platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (pd-ecgf) and has angiogenic activity. the enzymatic activity of dthdpase was needed for the angiogenesis by the enzyme. these observations were cat
## Abstract Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC) is a putative tumor suppressor gene, whose loss has been implicated in colorectal tumorigenesis. Decreased or loss of DCC expression has been demonstrated in a number of human cancers, including esophageal cancer. In this study, we analyzed esophageal
