Abstract
can invade ESCC cells and consequently promote their proliferation, suggesting that esophageal microbes likely influence the progression of ESCC in clinical settings. Because the esophagus connects the oral cavity and stomach, acting as a canal for transporting foods, its special physical location makes it easily exposed to microorganisms. Thus, it is necessary to explore the interaction between esophageal microbes and ESCC.
