A multi‐omics study delineates new molecular features and therapeutic targets for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a major histological subtype of esophageal cancer with inferior prognosis. Here, we conducted comprehensive transcriptomic, proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and metabolomic characterization of human, treatment‐naive ESCC and paired normal adjacent ti...
