Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: High-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) has been implicated in a subset of patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC). We therefore hypothesised that HPV associated OAC may have distinct genomic aberrations compared with viral negative oesophageal cancer. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was performed to explore the mutational landscape and potential molecular signature of HPV-positive versus...
