Expression of e-cadherin and β-catenin in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: relationships with prognosis

Figure 1 Expression of E-cadherin in esophageal squamous carcinoma tissue, brownish membrane and cytoplasm were shown in part of the tumor cells (A, B positive, C heterogeneous, D negative expression Original magnification × 200; B, Original magnification × 400).

Figure 2 Expression of β-catenin in esophageal squamous carcinoma tissue ,brownish membrane and cytoplasm were shown in part of the tumor cells in the centers showing zonal differentiation (E, F positive, G heterogeneous, H negative expression Original magnification; H, Original magnification × 400)
