    An analysis of whole-genome sequencing data from patients with Barrett’s oesophagus or oesophageal ademocarcinoma shows that extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is strongly associated with cancer progression, and that a wide range of oncogenes are amplified on ecDNAs.

    The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network report integrated genomic and molecular analyses of 164 squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas of the oesophagus; they find genomic and molecular features that differentiate squamous and adenocarcinomas of the oesophagus, and strong similarities between oesophageal adenocarcinomas and the chromosomally unstable variant of gastric adenocarcinoma, suggesting that gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma is a single disease entity.
