Genomic similarity between gastroesophageal junction and esophageal Barrett's adenocarcinomas
The current high mortality rate of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) reflects frequent presentation at an advanced stage. Recent efforts utilizing fluorescent peptides have identified overexpressed cell surface targets for endoscopic detection of early stage Barrett's-derived EAC. Unfortunately, 30% of EAC patients present with gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas (GEJAC) and lack premaligna...
متن کاملTherapeutic approaches to gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas.
The following, from the 12th OESO World Conference: Cancers of the Esophagus, includes commentaries on the distinction between adenocarcinomas above, below, or within the gastroesophageal junction; combined modality therapy; tumor markers for use in personalized medicine; PET-CT and endoscopic biopsies in the evaluation of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy; a standardized grading s...
متن کاملIntegrated molecular analysis reveals complex interactions between genomic and epigenomic alterations in esophageal adenocarcinomas
The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is rapidly rising in the United States and Western countries. In this study, we carried out an integrative molecular analysis to identify interactions between genomic and epigenomic alterations in regulating gene expression networks in EAC. We detected significant alterations in DNA copy numbers (CN), gene expression levels, and DNA methylation p...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine Cells in Barrett’s Mucosa and Adenocarcinomas of the Gastroesophageal Junction
Neuroendocrine (NE) cells are defined as argentaffin and argyrophil cells that produce peptides or amines. They belong to the diffuse neuroendocrine system (DNES) and were previously known as amino-precursor-uptake-decarboxylation (APUD) cells. The neuroendocrine system of the normal gastrointestinal tract might regulate proliferation and growth of epithelial and mesenchymal cells and probably ...
متن کاملSignaling pathways in the molecular pathogenesis of adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction
Esophageal adenocarcinoma develops in response to severe gastroesophageal reflux disease through the precursor lesion Barrett esophagus, in which the normal squamous epithelium is replaced by a columnar lining. The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma in the United States has increased by over 600% in the past 40 years and the overall survival rate remains less than 20% in the community. This...
