Nomenclature of genes in Esophageal cancer (continued)

FEZ1 ,  fasciculation and Elongation protein Zeta,
a significant gene intervening in the motility of the Esophagus.
Alteration of this gene also increases cancer susceptibility to viral infection (HIV).
It interacts with NBR1, a gene that confers a certain refractoriness to this cancer
and supports the Idea that Cisplatin may be essential to treatment in this disease.
In fact, several neurological receptors are involved in Esophageal cancer
and may contribute to the disease's poor prognosis and epithelial morphology presentation.
