Background and Objectives: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) exhibits good reactivity to chemoradiation therapy (CRT). The dysregulation of F-Box and WD Repeat Domain Containing 7 (FBXW7) is associated with therapeutic resistance in cancer cells. However, the correlation between FBXW7 expression and CRT sensitivity in patients with clinical ESCC has been investigated only in few studies. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the significance of FBXW7 expression in pretreatment biopsy specimens from patients with ESCC receiving CRT.Methods: We investigated the relationship between FBXW7 expression and CRT sensitivity in 30 pretreatment biopsy specimens with histological grades of post-CRT surgically resected tumors. Furthermore, we evaluated the effects of high FBXW7 expression on the sensitivity to cytotoxic agents, including docetaxel and nedaplatin, and radiation in ESCC cells in vitro.Results: High FBXW7 expression before CRT correlated with a good pathological CRT response in patients with advanced ESCC (P
