Histology, Anatomy, or Geography? Exome Sequencing Begins to Delineate Somatic Mutational Differences in Esophageal Cancer

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Summary: Esophageal carcinoma is composed of squamous cell and adenocarcinoma types, each with geographically distinct incidence. The earliest exome sequences in this disease begin to illuminate the genetic demarcations of these anatomically related cancers. Cancer Discov; 2(10); 870–1. ©2012 AACR.
