DNA copy number profile discriminates between esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and represents an independent prognostic parameter in esophageal adenocarcinoma

Highlights ► We report comparison of DNA copy number alterations in esophageal ADC and SCC samples. ► ADC are characterized by an elevated genomic instability; SCC present more specific clustered abnormalities. ► Total DNA copy number changes were found to be an independent prognostic factor for ADC...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► We report comparison of DNA copy number alterations in esophageal ADC and SCC samples. ► ADC are characterized by an elevated genomic instability; SCC present more specific clustered abnormalities. ► Total DNA copy number changes were found to be an independent prognostic factor for ADC but not for SCC patients.
