Abstract: Metabolomics, as a biotechnology widely used in fields such as disease, cancer, nutrition, drugs and microorganism in recent years, has become one of the focuses in “-omics” technology. Esophageal cancer (EC) is a malignance which is extremely harmful to the health of national residents. Metabolomics has made great progress in the screening of biomarkers of EC. This paper reviewed the researches about metabolomics and esophageal cancer in the last two decades to provide a reference basis for treatment and prediction of esophageal cancer.
