We performed a multi-institutional analysis of E2F1 and cyclin D1 expression in cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Cyclin D1 and E2F1 are involved in the transition of cell cycle phases and associated with tumor progression. However, no previous studies have concurrently analyzed combined E2F1 and cyclin D1 expression. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship of E2F1 and cyclin D1 in ESCC. We studied 122 patients with primary ESCC who underwent surgical tumor resection. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed for E2F1 and cyclin D1. A statistical analysis of immunohistochemistry results, clinicopathological features, and prognosis was performed. E2F1/cyclin D1 (-/-) tumors were present in 31 patients (25.4%) and correlated with reduced tumor progression. In these patients, pT (P = 0.0001), pN (P < 0.0001), p-Stage (P = 0.0019), and survival rates were better than in patients who were positive for either E2F1 or cyclin D1 (P = 0.0232). The expression of E2F1 and cyclin D1 is an indicator of tumor progression and prognosis in patients with ESCC. Combined analysis of E2F1 and cyclin D1 expression helps to determine the characteristics and prognosis of ESCC.
