Core Tip	Excess adipose tissue, particularly visceral obesity, is an important risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). The mechanisms involve both the promotion of gastro-esophageal reflux and reflux-independent mechanisms. Abnormal secretion of the adipokines leptin and adiponectin from adipose tissue in obesity may promote the development of EAC. Increased leptin levels are an independent risk factor for EAC and leptin enhances proliferation and invasion and inhibits apoptosis in Barrett’s cell lines. Relative adiponectin deficiency is an independent risk factor for EAC and adiponectin blocks the cancer promoting effects of leptin in experimental models. Obesity may influence EAC development via adipokine secretion.
