Overexpression of CD9 correlates with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract

CD9 expression is upregulated in ESCC tissues and its expression is correlated with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis in ESCC patients. CD9 suppresses the proliferation of TE-1 cells. CD9 may present a potential in tumor progression in ESCC.
