Abstract:
Recently, with the development of techniques such as proteomics, the positive rate of com-mon tumor markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and squamous cell carcinomatous antigen (Scc-Ag) has increased obviously. And some new tumor markers related to esophageal carcinoma (EC) have been detected, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin, Dickkopf21, tumor M2-PK and etc. Clinical trials are undergoing to estimate the value of these markers,which may change the current status of EC diagnosis and therapy.
