Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we quantified the serum vascular endothelial growth factor-3 (VEGFR-3) expression in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to evaluate the role of VEGFR-3 in ESCC.
Ninety five patients with ESCC were studied. Pre-therapy and preoperative samples were stored and ELISA was used to designate the concentrations of VEGFR-3.
The serum values of VEGFR-3 were significantly higher in patients with ESCC than in healthy donors (p<0.0001).
The results imply a very good sensitivity of VEGFR-3 in ESCC. VEGFR-3 may be a good diagnostic biomarker for ESCC.

食管癌是胃肠道中侵袭性最强的肿瘤之一。在本研究中,我们对食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)患者血清血管内皮生长因子-3(VEGFR-3)的表达进行定量,以评估VEGFR-3在ESCC中的作用。
研究了95例ESCC患者。保存治疗前和术前样本,采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)测定VEGFR-3的浓度。
ESCC患者的血清VEGFR-3值显著高于健康供体(p<0.0001)。
结果表明VEGFR-3在ESCC中具有很高的敏感性。VEGFR-3可能是ESCC的一种良好诊断生物标志物。
