The molecular events that occur during early esophageal carcinogenesis are not well understood
Research gap analysis derived from 3 biology papers in our local library.
The gap
The molecular events that occur during early esophageal carcinogenesis are not well understood. Systematic molecular characterization of early human ESCC precursor lesions remains challenging. There is a need to better understand the molecular events that occur during early esophageal carcinogenesis to inform prevention, early detection, and mechanism-based intervention.
