## BACKGROUND. Esophageal carcinoma is one of the most lethal tumors. Therefore, it is important to identify prognostic factors for patients with this disease. The objective of this study was to clarify the relation between clinicopathologic and biologic factors in esophageal carcinoma and to dete

## BACKGROUND. Recently, several reports have shown that immunohistochemical analysis using MIB-1 antibody, which recognizes Ki-67 (a human nuclear antigen expressed of proliferating cells), is a useful method for determining the proliferative activity of various cancers. In this study, the author
## BACKGROUND. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) first were defined as proteins induced by heat shock and other environmental and pathophysiologic stresses and are implicated in protein-protein interactions such as folding, translocation, and prevention of inappropriate protein aggregation. Many of their
## Abstract Based on our previous demonstration that elevated cyclooxygenaseβ2 (COXβ2) expression is a prognostic factor for reduced survival in patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, the aim of our study was to analyze the role of COXβ2 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. We
## 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
