Esophageal and gastric cancers are two of the most common malignancies worldwide with particularly high mortality rates. Esophageal and gastric cardia cancers share certain environmental risk factors, but it is unclear if these cancers share similar gene mutation patterns. To improve patient diagnosis, treatment, and outcome, identification and characterization of the unique molecular mutation profiles of these cancers are needed to develop more effective target therapies. Until recently, personalized DNA sequencing to identify individual cancer mutations was unrealistic for clinical applications. But technological advancements in next-generation DNA sequencing, including the semiconductor-based Ion Torrent sequencing platform, have made DNA sequencing more cost and time effective with reliable results. Using the Ion Torrent Ampliseq Cancer Panel, we sequenced 737 loci from 45 cancer-.. Read More»
