| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The FACS analysis showed the significant increase in the number of cCAF in patients with esophageal cancer specimens compared to a healthy person specimen of the control group. The ELIZA analysis indicated the over-expression of FAP in the supernatant of CAF which is the activated fibroblasts in vitro. FAP expression at tumoral stroma was a significant predictive factor for tumor size, lymph node metastasis and vessel invasion. In survival analysis of DFS (disease free survival) and OS (overall survival), FAP high stroma was associated with shorter period to recurrence and death than those of FAP low stroma.
