Four proteins from kallikrein-related peptidase family, namely, hK8(kallikrein-8), hK11(kallikrein-11), KLK13(kallikrein-13) and hK14(kallikrein-14), were detected by Olink Oncology II panel, and we found all of them had low levels in serum in ESCC patients regardless tumor stage, compared with healthy controls. This evidence concerns the gene KLK14 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
