The incidence of gastro-oesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, comprising both oesophageal (EAC) and junctional gastric adenocarcinomas, has increased dramatically in Western countries, correlating with a decrease in non-cardia gastric cancer (GC). A better understanding of the origin and pathogenesis of these cancers may allow for improved cancer prevention, detection and treatment. GEJ adenocarcinomas include tumours classified in the past as either oesophageal or gastric in origin. Adenocarcinoma located just above the GEJ (ie, EAC) was for many years viewed as a distinct entity from GC. This view followed the strong association of EAC with Barrett’s Oesophagus (BE), a metaplastic condition of the lower oesophagus which was viewed as a transdifferentiation of normal squamous epithelium to an intestinalised mucosa in the setting of gastric acid reflux. This assumption of a squamous origin of EAC led to (1) an extensive programme of surveillance of BE patients,(2) the inclusion of oesophageal squamous (ESCC) and adenocarcinoma (EAC) together in some clinical trials and (3) a clear distinction of EAC from GC. We propose here to rethink this approach based on novel insights on the origins and pathogenesis of GEJ cancer. New data supporting a gastric origin of EAC/BE have emerged in recent years from both deep analysis of human samples and with experimental results from human derived cells and mouse models. The hypothesis that BE originates in the gastric cardia was proposed in 2012, based on findings in lineage tracing studies in a BE (L2-IL-1b) mouse model, which recapitulates the histologic progression from oesophagitis to dysplasia. 1 Lineage tracing allows for the genetic definition and tracking of stem cells and their progeny and can help determine the cellular origin of neoplasms. Subsequently, The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network (TCGA) in 2017 demonstrated in comprehensive molecular genomic profiling of both oesophageal and GCs the distinct features of the two histological subtypes of oesophageal cancer, EAC and ESCC, with ESCC showing much greater similarity to head and neck SCC. Furthermore, joint analysis of EAC and GC could not identify features clearly demarcating EAC from the chromosomal instability (CIN) class of GC, suggesting a shared origin. 2 By contrast, variants of GC that are more common in the non-cardia regions of the stomach including tumours with microsatellite instability, Epstein-Barr virus infection or the diffuse histologic type are less common in GCs localised to the cardia and in EAC. Genetic results from TCGA are consistent with recent epigenetic studies of BE relative to normal gastric and oesophageal tissues, which also demonstrated evidence for a gastric origin to BE. 3 Furthermore, a recent study utilising comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic profiling, in silico lineage tracing, mutation analyses from human tissues spanning the proximal stomach to squamous oesophagus healthy and diseased donors, showed that BE originates from gastric cardia progenitors through distinct transcriptional programmes. 4 This latter study also experimentally determined the capacity of organoid cultures of human gastric tissue to differentiate into BE. Indeed, this emerging view of BE/EAC as originating from gastric tissue is consistent with key pathologic findings that BE always begins at the very distal oesophagus, contiguous with the gastric cardia, and that BE comprises a mosaic of gastric and intestinal cell types which is largely indistinguishable from intestinal metaplasia in the stomach. 5 This new thinking regarding the relationship of EAC echoes the original descriptions of …
