Barrett’s oesophagus is the only known precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, a cancer with very poor prognosis. The main risk factors for are history of gastro-oesophageal acid reflux symptoms and obesity. Men, smokers those family also at increased risk. Progression from occurs via an intermediate stage, as dysplasia. However, dysplasia early usually develop without any clinical signs, often in individuals whose well controlled by suppressant medications; therefore, endoscopic surveillance recommended allow diagnosis timely intervention. Individuals need be fully informed about implications this benefits risks monitoring strategies. Pharmacological treatments control symptoms, but not chemoprevention. Dysplasia stage 1 adenocarcinoma have excellent prognoses, since they can cured or surgical therapies. Endoscopic resection most accurate staging technique Barrett’s-related adenocarcinoma. ablation effective indicated eradicate patients Future research should focus on improved accuracy detection new technologies providing more robust evidence support pathways follow-up treatment.

Summary Multiple distinct cell types of the human lung and airways have been defined by single RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). Here we present a multi-omics spatial atlas to define novel which map back into macro- micro-anatomical tissue context functional microenvironments. Firstly, generated nuclei sequencing, VDJ-sequencing Visium Spatial Transcriptomics data sets from 5 different locations airways. Secondly, additional types/states, as well spatially known airway types, such adult chondrocytes, submucosal gland (SMG) duct cells, pericyte smooth muscle subtypes, immune-recruiting fibroblasts, peribronchial perichondrial peripheral nerve associated fibroblasts Schwann cells. Finally, survival niche for IgA-secreting plasma cells at SMG, comprising newly epithelial SMG-Duct B T lineage immune Using our transcriptomic cell-cell interaction analysis, propose signalling circuit that establishes supports this niche. Overall, provide transcriptional with multiple allows study specific microenvironments gland-associated lymphoid (GALN).

Epithelial stem cells accumulate mutations throughout life. Some of these mutants increase competitive fitness and may form clones that colonize the cell niche persist to acquire further genome alterations. After a transient expansion, mutant must revert homeostatic behavior so normal tissue architecture is maintained. positively selected promote cancer development, whereas others inhibit carcinogenesis. Factors shape mutational landscape include wild-type dynamics, competition for niche, environmental exposures. Understanding processes give new insight into basis risk opportunities prevention. Recent advances in sequencing have found somatic all epithelial tissues studied date. Here we review how epithelia shaped by clonal within combined with genes are oncogenic, be inhibitory transformation. Discoveries this area leave many open questions, such as definition driver genes, mechanisms which constrain high proportion oncogenic cells, whether can modulated decrease risk.

Gastroesophageal (GE) junction adenocarcinoma is an aggressive malignancy of growing incidence and associated with public health issues such as obesity GERD. Management has evolved over the last two decades to incorporate a multidisciplinary approach, including endoscopic intervention, neoadjuvant chemotherapy/chemoradiation, minimally invasive or more limited surgical approaches. Surgical approaches include esophagectomy, total gastrectomy, and, recently, proximal gastrectomy. This review analyzes evidence for applicability these varied in management, well areas continued controversy investigation.
