Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly disease with a poor prognosis. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in microRNA (miRNA) functions are potential biomarkers for prognosis of various human cancers. We investigated the association of the miRNA-related SNPs with the prognosis of ESCC. METHODS: A total of 504 patients with ESCC were enrolled. The genotypes of 18...
