Objectives: The KAI1/CD82 appears to inhibit multiple steps of cancer metastatic. D2-40 labeled LVI and LVD are also closely associated with cancer metastasis. We investigated the expression levels of KAI1/CD82, D2-40 labeled LVI and LVD and their correlation with clinicopathological factors in ESCC.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot were used to detect KAI1/CD82 expression levels in the peritumoral tissue and ESCC. LVI and LVD detected by D2-40 immunohistochemical staining. The relationships between the KAI1/CD82 expression levels, LVI and LVD were analyzed. The prognosis of ESCC was analyzed by Kaplan-M... view more»
