- Abstract
Digestive system cancers (DSC) are the most common cancers worldwide and often associated with poor prognosis because of their characteristics of invasive and metastatic. Thus, it is particularly necessary to find novel molecular targets for early diagnosis, as well as targeted treatment of DSC. B7-H3, which was previously referred to as a modulatory ligand that regulate T-cell-mediated immune reaction, is a B7-family member of co-stimulatory biomolecules, and in recent years it was found that its concentration was remarkably up modulated in serum, as well as tissues of DSC patients. Numerous studies have documented that B7-H3 has a vital function in the DSC. Herein, we summarize the current literature on diagnosis and prognosis potential of B7-H3 in DSC including those of the esophagus, gastric, liver, pancreas, and colon.
