Epidemiology of Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2006
The 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 ...

Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction

2017
Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer is, among solid cancers, the fastest growing tumor in terms of incidence in Western countries, and due to the lifestyle changes in developing and newly industrialized countries, this trend is expected to intensify worldwide.

Esophagus and Esophagogastric Junction

2012
Tumor location is simplified, and esophagogastric junction and proximal 5 cm of stomach are included Tis is redefined and T4 is subclassified Regional lymph nodes are redefined. N is subclassified according to the number of regional lymph nodes containing metastasis M is redefined Separate stage groupings for squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma ...

Esophagogastric junction distensibility identifies achalasia subgroup with manometrically normal esophagogastric junction relaxation

Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2016
AbstractBackgroundManometric criteria to diagnose achalasia are absent peristalsis and incomplete relaxation of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), determined by an integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) >15 mm Hg. However, EGJ relaxation seems normal in a subgroup of patients with typical symptoms of achalasia, no endoscopic abnormalities, stasis on ...

Motility Changes Revealing Esophagogastric Junction

Radiology, 1961
Considerable controversy persists concerning what is strictly normal or abnormal in the distal esophagus and at the cardia. Should it be possible to have a particular observation generally accepted, subsequent definitions of such entities as hiatus hernia, vestibule (1), or ampulla (2), might be more readily and more accurately derived.

Chemoradiation in Esophagogastric Junction Cancer

2017
For 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

Anatomy of the Esophagogastric Junction

2004
The 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].

Esophagogastric junction distensibility in hiatus hernia

Diseases of the Esophagus, 2015
Hiatus hernia is known to be an important risk factor for developing gastroesophageal reflux disease. We aimed to use the endoscopic functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) to evaluate the functional properties of the esophagogastric junction. EndoFLIP assessments were made in 30 patients with hiatus hernia and Barrett's esophagus, and in 14 healthy ...

Surgical Strategies for Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction

2009
This 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 ...
