| Description: |
CircCYP24A1 is significantly up-regulated in ESCC tissues and patient plasma, correlating with lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and poorer survival. Functionally, circCYP24A1 promotes ESCC cell migration, invasion, and EMT in vitro, and shows strong diagnostic performance in plasma (AUC 0.94) with predictive value for LNM (AUC 0.76). |
