Prognostic impact of renin-angiotensin system blockade in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Conclusions:
ACEIs/ARBs administration is independently associated with superior overall survival in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving esophagectomy. Our data support further investigation of the role of RAS inhibitors as a potential therapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
