The development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a complicated process in which cell adhesion and motility, mediated by integrins, are involved through connecting the cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix. Different mechanisms via which integrin β6 participates in cancer invasion and metastasis have been described by numerous studies; however, the expression and clinical significance of integrin β6 in ESCC remain unknown.
