Figure 2 A: ESCC patients at stages III- IV(A) showing higher mRNA expression level of beta-catenin than ESCC patients at stages I-II(B). Y: observed lymph node metastasis, N: no lymph node metastasis. ESCC patients with lymph node metastasis had higher mRNA expression level of beta-catenin than ESCC patients with no lymph node metastasis.
