Genomic analysis of HPV positive versus HPV negative esophageal adenocarcinoma

High-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) has been implicated in a subset of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We therefore hypothesized that HPV associated EAC may have distinct genomic aberrations compared with viral negative esophageal cancer as shown in Head and Neck cancer and cervical cancer. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed to explore the mutational landscape and potential molecular signature of HPV positive versus HPV negative EAC, which includes four hr-HPV-positive and 8 HPV-negative treatment naive fresh-frozen EAC tissue specimens and matched normal tissues.
