Abstract excerpt
Synchronous multiple intra-esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) or oropharyngolaryngeal SCCs are common in alcoholics with esophageal SCC, and more frequently found in those with inactive heterozygous aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2). p53 alterations have been suspected as key molecular events in such multifocal esophageal carcinogenesis. We studied 95 Japanese alcoholic men with Tis and mucosal invasive...
