Abstract:
Esophageal cancer is a common gastrointestinal cancer in China with poor prognosis.Radiotherapy is the main treatment of esophageal cancer,and radiosensitivity of the tumor cell is a significant reason for the efficacy of radiotherapy.Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met) and its signaling pathway play an significant role in tumorigenesis,development,invasion,metastasis and treatment resistance.This review summarizes the association between expression of c-Met and radiosensitivity in esophageal cancer.
