Abstract
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma is often treated with chemotherapy before surgery. Here, the authors sequence cancer samples before and after chemotherapy and examine how the genome changes, focusing on changes in driver gene mutations and differential clonal evolution between good and poor responders.
