Recent epidemiological studies have shown that obesity, typically measured by increased body mass index (BMI), is associated with an increased risk of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEAC), but the contributing molecular and immune mechanisms remain unknown. Since obesity is known to promote chronic inflammation, we hypothesized that obesity leads to inflammation-related immune dysfunction, which can be reversed by immune-modulating therapy. To test our hypothesis, we examined the clinical and molecular data from advanced GEAC patients. To this end, 46 GEAC tumors were evaluated for biomarkers representing tumor inflammation, cell proliferation, and PD-L1 expression. A CoxPH regression model with potential co-variates, followed by pairwise post hoc analysis, revealed that inflammation in the GEAC tumor microenvironment is associated with improved overall survival, regardless of BMI. We also observed a significant association between cell proliferation and progression-free survival in overweight individuals who received immune-modulating therapy. In conclusion, our data confirm the role of the immune system in the natural course of GEAC and its responses to immunotherapies, but do not support the role of BMI as an independent clinically relevant biomarker in this group of patients.
