Abstract excerpt
L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is highly expressed in various types of human cancers, displaying yet unknown molecular mechanisms underlying their oncogenic potential. Here, we found that L1CAM expression was significantly increased in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC; n = 157) lesions compared with non-cancerous tissues. High tumorous L1CAM expression significantly correlated with reduced overall...
