Figure 1

ROC curve analysis of ENG NMVs of normal esophagus (N) vs. esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (A), ESCC vs. esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) (B) and normal esophageal specimens from ESCC patients (NEcS) vs. normal esophageal specimens from EAC patients (NEcA) (C). The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) conveys this biomarker’s accuracy in distinguishing EAC from N and from ESCC in terms of its sensitivity and specificity.
