| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the current study, Fusobacterium species was detected in early esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) tissues. In addition, the positive group was significantly associated with lymphovascular invasion, suggesting its relation with biological malignancy. Thus, our data suggest that tumor Fusobacterium species is a promising biomarker of esophageal cancer and could open up exciting opportunities to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease. Moreover, our findings should help to elucidate the details of carcinogenesis and could lead to the development of a new diagnostic (i.e., esophageal wash) for patients with esophageal cancer.
