摘要

The present invention provides a versatile technique which has a high diagnostic accuracy rate on the adaptability of esophageal cancer to an endoscopic therapy and enables the simple and objective determination of the adaptability or non-adaptability to an endoscopic therapy.　In the method according to one aspect of the present invention, an expression amount of at least one component selected from the group consisting of CXCL2 and VEGFA in a sample collected from a subject is measured, and the expression amount is compared with a reference value; the diagnosis kit according to one aspect of the present invention includes a reagent for measuring at least one item selected from the group consisting of the expression amount of CXCL2 in the sample and the expression amount of VEGFA in the sample; in the method for treating esophageal cancer according to one aspect of the present invention, the degree of vertical invasion of esophageal cancer in a subject is determined by employing a method in which an expression amount of at least one component selected from the group consisting of CXCL2 and VEGFA in a sample collected from a subject is measured and the expression amount is compared with a reference value.
