High endothelin-converting enzyme-1 expression independently predicts poor survival of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma have poor survival and high recurrence rate, thus an effective prognostic biomarker is needed. Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 is responsible for biosynthesis of endothelin-1, which promotes growth and invasion of human cancers. The role of endothelin-...
