Epidemiology of Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction
Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2006The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction has increased rapidly in the later half of the twentieth century in the United States and most western countries. Although squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus used to predominate, adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and esophagogastric junction now accounts for more than half of ...

The Esophagogastric Junction Reconsidered
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North AmericaThe anti-reflux barrier at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) has 3 functional components: (1) the lower esophageal sphincter, (2) the crural diaphragm, and (3) the gastroesophageal flap valve. Using endoscopic measures of length of hiatal herniation, dilatation of the hiatus, and presence of a flap valve, the American Foregut Society (AFS) Hiatus ...

What is a Normal Esophagogastric Junction?
Gastroenterology, 1972This study deals with the incidence of apparent abnormality of the esophagogastric junction in a group of young asymptomatic individuals. We have defined the esophagogastric junction to be normal if the following criteria were met: (1) absence of hiatus hernia by X-ray; (2) absence of significant gastroesophageal reflux measured by intraesophageal p H

Chemoradiation in Esophagogastric Junction Cancer
2017For decades, primary surgery and radiotherapy (RT) alone were two treatment options for potentially curable esophageal cancer. Outcomes were poor, with most patients developing recurrent disease with associated morbidity and mortality. Both treatment options evolved over time as a result of better staging [1–3] and improved surgical [4–6] and radiation

Accurate identification of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is crucial for EGJ disease diagnosis, classification, and treatment in daily practice. Although a universally accepted criterion for EGJ has not been established, the most commonly used landmark for endoscopic mucosal EGJ is the proximal end of gastric longitudinal mucosal folds with a high ...

Surgical Strategies for Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction
2009This chapter summarizes the surgical strategies for adenocarcinomas of the distal esophagus, gastric cardia, and subcardial gastric cancer invading the cardia+/-distal esophagus known as adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). The different surgical approaches according to the tumor origin, localization, and tumor stage are addressed ...

Anatomy of the Esophagogastric Junction
2004The knowledge of the anatomy of the esophagogastric junction, of the contiguous structures (esophagus and stomach) and those that surround and sustain it (membranous and vascular formations, diaphragmatic pillars) is essential for understanding the physiopathology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) [5,6].
