## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and microvessel density (MVD) are important parameters for assessing the malignant potential of tumors and patient survival. In this report, the authors defined LVD as the density of D2β40βpositive lymphatic vessels and MVD as the density o
## Background: Recent studies on the role of bcl-2 in malignant tumors have suggested its prognostic significance. the goals of the current study were to determine any correlation between bcl-2 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and histopathology, lymph node metastasis, and clinical
## Abstract DNA amplification is one of the mechanisms to activate genes that are implicated in neoplastic transformation and gain of chromosome band 3q26 is a common event in squamous cell carcinomas. The aim of the present work was to identify the specific target gene from four candidates (__MDS1
