Over-expression of inhibitor of differentiation or DNA binding 1 (Id-1) is associated with poor prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, some biomarkers discordant expression in metastasis has been reported previously. We aimed to confirm possible differential expression and prognostic value of Id-1 in paired metastatic lymph node (PMLN).
