<p>Expression of Integrin β6 and HAX-1 Correlates with Aggressive Features and Poor Prognosis in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma</p>

Abstract

The present findings suggested the predictive value of integrin β6 and HAX-1 as independent indicators of poor prognosis for patients with ESCC, both of which may contribute to the tumor proliferation and metastasis, leading to ESCC progression. Therefore, combined targeting of integrin β6 and HAX-1 may provide a potential novel approach for the treatment of ESCC.
