The statistically higher expressions of PLAUR, BIK, DRAM2, RNF41, STK38, ATG5, and PARP1 were measured in esophageal cancer than those in normal tissue, while statistically significant differences were also detected between ESCC and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) (Figure 5E). The gene discussed is PLAUR; the disease is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
