Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2014 Sep:1325:15-22. doi: 10.1111/nyas.12518.

Abstract

The following, from the 12th OESO World Conference: Cancers of the Esophagus, includes commentaries on signaling pathways that can be targeted with immunotherapy; the role of micro-RNAs in the immune response to esophageal cancer; and the association between obesity, the immune system, and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Keywords: OESO; adiponectin; esophageal adenocarcinoma; esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; immune system; miRNA; monoclonal antibody; obesity.
