ATM and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: And through the prognostic survival curve, we could see that the increase of miR-18a-5p and the decrease of ATM after treatment both predict an increased risk of prognostic death of patients, which was further verified by the subsequent COX analysis of the prognosis of patients, demonstrating the close relationship between miR-18a-5p, ATM, and the development of ESCC.
