Core Tip	The expression level of musashi-1 has been found to be closely associated with the treatment efficacy, disease progression, and overall survival of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. As a key regulator involved in tumorigenesis and cancer stem cell maintenance, musashi-1 holds promise as a novel biomarker for predicting therapeutic response and assessing long-term prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients, potentially guiding personalized treatment strategies.
