The role of prostaglandin E receptor 2 and epidermal growth factor receptor in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients with (pN+) regional lymph node metastasis
Abstract:Background
To find the relationship between prostaglandin E receptor 2 (EP
2
) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients with regional lymph nodes metastasis (pN+) who had undergone curative resection, and to analyze them in the role of judging prognosis.
Methods
Sixty-three patients with ESCC who underwent attempted curative esophagectomy with lymph node metastasis were collected. Immuno… Show more
