Methods： The expressions of P-gp and p27 were detected by immunohistochemistry in 104 cases of ESC, and the clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed as well. Results： The positive rate of P-gp expression in 104 cases of ESCs was 32.7%. The positive rate of P-gp expression in the group that survived over 3 years （17.5%） was significantly lower than that in the group died within 3 years （53.3%） （x^2=14.227, P〈0.001）. The positive rate of p27 expression in 104 cases of ESCs was 67.3%. The positive rate of p27 expression in the group that survived over 3 years （75.8%） was significantly higher than that in the group died within 3 years （56.5%） （x^2=4.361, P〈0.05）. The patients with poorer differentiation whole wall invasion, lymph node metastasis and more advanced TNM stage had a shorter survival than did those with better differentiation, more superficial invasion, no lymph node involvement and earlier TNM stage; and it was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. However, tumor size, macropathologic type, age and gender had no prognostic impact on ESC patients （P〉0.05）. Conclusion： P-gp and p27 expression levels had a clinical prognostic significance in ESC. It could provide a reference basis for selecting the chemotherapy projection. The tumor differentiation degree, depth of invasion, lymph node involvement and TNM stages all were correlated to ESC patients＇ survival.展开更多
