Gene expression profiling of lymph node metastasis by oligomicroarray analysis using laser microdissection in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
1 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
We applied oligomicroarray analysis of 17086 genes to identify the genes related to lymph node metastasis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The samples of cancer and non-cancerous paired tissue were taken from 16 patients with ESCC who underwent esophagectomy with lymph node dissection. Total ribonucleic acid was extracted from the cancer cells obtained by using laser microdissection and was amplified...
