Distribution of esophagus flora in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics

There are individual differences in the distribution of esophageal flora for ESCC. The diversity and distribution of esophageal tissues are reduced and disordered compared to normal esophageal tissues. There are no correlations between distinct parts and stages of ESCC and esophageal flora, while morphological types and lymph node metastasis can affect the structure of esophageal flora.
