Abstract: The incidence of esophageal cancer is very high in China， and more than half of the global patients are Chinese. Epidemiological， biochemical， pathophysiological， and clinical studies have been performed.However， the mechanisms are still unclear. A wealth of recent studies find that the expression levels of microRNA are associated with the development， diagnosis， treatment and prognosis of esophageal cancer. To help the readers understand the importance of microRNA in the development of esophageal cancer， this review introduces current state of knowledge about the association between microRNA and esophageal cancer， and the underlying mechanisms.
