  1. NOTE. AUC:area under curve. The cut-off levels (the band intensity ratios of hTER or EYA4 to β-actin) written in bold are the cut-off points that used in the discriminating between positive and negative status with different markers. BCH, Basal cell hyperplasia; ESCD, esophageal squamous cells dyspalsia; ESCC, esophageal squamous cells cancer.
