Abstract
Our data provide indirect evidence that PKG may play a key role in esophage al cancer progression, probably by affecting homotypic cell adhesion, cytos keletal anchoring and signal transduction. The independent prognostic relev ance of PKG in esophageal carcinoma patients is of particular interest for stratification of these patients to adjuvant therapy.
