Core Tip Numerous studies have demonstrated that human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), is over-expressed in various malignant tissues including ovarian, endometrial, lung, breast, pancreatic and gastric cancers. However, no study has examined the diagnostic impact of HE4 in patient with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) until now. In this study, we quantified serum HE4 levels via ELISA method using a non-biased database consisting of 80 ESCC patients, which were compared to a control group of 56 patients with benign esophageal disease. It was found that serum HE4 is significantly higher expressed in ESCC than in the control group, and the staining intensity is inversely correlated with the pathological T and N stage. It has been suggested that serum HE4 can have a potential role as an early diagnostic biomarker for ESCC.
