Abstract
Somatic copy-number alterations are commonly found in cancer and play key roles in activating oncogenes and deactivating tumor suppressor genes. Digital polymerase chain reaction is an effective way to detect the changes in copy number. In esophageal adenocarcinoma, detection of somatic copy-number alterations could predict the prognosis of patients as well as the response to therapy. This chapter will review the methods involved in digital polymerase chain reaction for the research or potential clinical applications in esophageal adenocarcinoma.
