Cancer of the esophagogastric junction
Surgical Oncology, 2000In the Western world, there has been an alarming rise in the incidence and prevalence of adenocarcinoma arising at the esophagogastric junction during recent decades. Epidemiological, clinical and pathological data support a sub-classification of adenocarcinomas arising in the vicinity of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) into adenocarcinoma of the ...

The lower esophageal sphincter regulates the flow of food between the esophagus and the stomach. It is now clear that both the intrinsic smooth muscle of the distal esophagus and the skeletal muscle of the crural diaphragm constitute the sphincter mechanism at the lower end of the esophagus.1 Furthermore, in normal subjects and patients with reflux ...

Carcinosarcoma of the Esophagogastric Junction
Tumori Journal, 2008Carcinosarcoma of the esophagus and the stomach are rare neoplasms characterized by the simultaneous presence of carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. There is no report in the literature of carcinosarcoma of the esophagogastric junction. We present a case of carcinosarcoma of the esophagogastric junction whose unique clinical presentation, surgical

Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction
Digestive Diseases, 1999Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) has increased rapidly in incidence in the latter half of the twentieth century. The increase in incidence has affected white men between the ages of 40 and 60 disproportionately. Understanding the etiology and improving treatment requires careful classification of EGJ tumors.

Journal of Surgical Research, 1966
Summary Currently available diagnostic techniques involving manometric studies, pH determinations, and cineradiographic techniques have added considerably to our knowledge of the normal and abnormal function of the esophagogastric junction. Nevertheless, these must be viewed in perspective, and they cannot supplant sound clinical judgment in the ...

The American Journal of Surgery, 1969
Abstract Current concepts of the esophagogastric junction and its disorders are reviewed. The clinical significance of hiatus herniation is gradually being clarified. In only a minority of carefully selected cases is surgical treatment required. Successful methods of repair emphasize re-establishment and maintenance of a segment of esophagus below ...

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 ...
