Nanog plays a key role in stem cell self-renewal and pluripotency differentiation in embryonic stem cells ( ESCs). Recently, some studies reported that abnormal expression of Nanog could be detected in several tumors, indicating that Nanog might be related to tumor development. However, studies on the correlation between Nanog expression and esophageal cancer are sparse.
