Comprehensive study of esophageal cancer reveals several molecular subtypes, provides new insight into increasingly prevalent disease

A comprehensive analysis of 559 esophageal and gastric cancer samples, collected from patients around the world, suggests the two main types of esophageal cancer differ markedly in their molecular characteristics and should be considered separate diseases.
