To investigate p150, a recently cloned protein, and its prognostic value in esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma, 100 samples were analyzed immunohistochemically and 30 fresh samples by the immunoblot method. All 100 patients, from Northern China, over-expressed p150 as compared with controls in the i
## Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the esophagus is among the most malignant of neoplasms and is associated with a dismal prognosis. although tumor microvessel density (mvd) is an important prognostic factor in several carcinomas, its role in scc of the esophagus is still controversial
In 45 patients who underwent an esophagus resection due to a squamous cell carcinoma, in addition to the TNM classification and usual morphologic criteria, the paraffin-embedded material underwent deparaffinization, was rehydrated, and was mechanically and enzymatically processed into a single-cell
