Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hypopharyngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are the most common double primary tumors with poor prognosis. Intensive work has been made to illuminate the etiology, but the common carcinogenic mechanism remains unclear. Thus, we conducted the study to seek to find the common gene signatures and key functional pathways associated with oncogenesis and treatment in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) and ESCC by bioinformatic analysis.
