The two main sub-types of the disease are esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). To date, most studies focused on analysing the transcriptional profile in ESCC only a few studies analysed EAC for transcriptional signatures that might be associated with diagnosis and/or prognosis. In this work we performed a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) analysis of the CD45+ cells enriched from from tumor and matched non-tumor tissues obtained from 3 therapy-na&iuml;ve patients to identify all the types of immune cells present in the tumor&#39;s immune infiltrate and their transcriptomic profiles, moreover we have analysed the whole transcriptome in a cohort of 23 patients from whom tissue biopsies were taken from tumor and matched non-tumor tissues. The transcriptional signatures derived from both types of analyses were then used to stratify a larger cohort of TCGA EAC patients showing a strong association with their prognosis. The transcriptional signatures here described have therefore proved capable of being able to predict the clinical outcome of patients and could be used to better define the prognosis in EAC after surgery and to direct patients towards effective therapies.</p>
