METHODS We enrolled 127 esophageal cancer patients, 29 healthy controls. Plasma YKL-40 levels were measured through enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of plasma YKL-40 in esophageal cancer patients. The correlations betw
