Gene expression profiling of 60 pre-chemotherapy FFPE endoscopic oesophageal adenocarcinoma biopsies


ABSTRACT: Oesophageal cancer is the ninth most common cancer in the UK and accounts for 5% of all cancer deaths. The incidence of the disease in men has risen 50% in the last 25 years with the commonest pathological subtype in the West being adenocarcinoma, while in East Asia oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma predominates. Despite efforts to screen for Barrett’s oesophagus, and pre-operatively select OAC patients who are likely to benefit from potentially curative surgery, survival remains poor. The five year survival rate is less than 17% and even in early stage locoregional confined disease this figure lies between 25-35%. A significant improvement in overall survival has been demonstrated with neo-adjuvant or peri-operative chemotherapy but the optimal approach for individual patients remains unclear. A consistent finding has been that complete histopathological response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is a prognostic biomarker for increased survival benefit. Therefore, there is a pressing need to identify biomarkers capable of predicting response, enabling clinicians to select patients for whom neo-adjuvant therapies would be beneficial. This experiment represents gene expression profiling of 60 pre-treatment formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) oesophageal adenocarcinoma biopsies. All patients were treated with neo-adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy prior to surgical resection at the Northern Ireland Cancer Centre from 2004-2012. The aim of the experiment was to carry out functional enrichment of pathological responders and non-responders to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in order to identify novel mechanism of drug resistance or chemo-sensitivity.
