Differences and similarities of adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2005
AbstractDuring the last few decades there has been an alarming rise in the incidence of tumors originating at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) [1]. The reason for this is unknown. Tumors of the EGJ can be categorized in two types of cancer divided according to their anatomical origin: distal esophageal adenocarcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the gastric

Localized adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction – Is there a standard of care?

Cancer Treatment Reviews, 2010
Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) is the most rapidly increasing tumour in the Western world. Most patients present with locally advanced resectable disease and treatment can be curative. However, no accepted standard treatment exists. Cancer specialists frequently differ on optimum treatment strategies.

Is There a Role For PET/CT With Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma?

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2015
The value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the initial diagnosis and in the locoregional staging of esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma is not fully established. However, 18F-FDG PET/CT is widely accepted as the best modality for identification of suspected metastases in staging of the disease.

Overview of multimodal therapy for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) has been rising. There is no standard treatment strategy for locally advanced AEG. The standard surgical treatment of Siewert type I AEG is Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection.

How to Classify Adenocarcinomas of the Esophagogastric Junction

American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 2011
To evaluate whether so-called cardiac adenocarcinomas (adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction type II and III, ie AEG II and III) are better staged as cancers of the esophagus or as cancers of the stomach.A single-center cohort of 1141 patients operated for AEG II and III is staged according to the seventh edition of the TNM classification for

Histopathologic Classification of Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction

2009
In contrast to squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus as well as adenocarcinomas of the distal or middle third of the stomach, the incidence of adenocarcinomas in the distal esophagus or EG junction increased continuously during the last decades.

Clinical Classification Systems of Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction

2009
The classification and definition of adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) have not been standardized, and the choice of surgical procedures is still the subject of controversy. In contrast to the decreasing frequency of gastric cancer and squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus, a number of studies from various western industrialized

Artificial intelligence for the detection of esophageal and esophagogastric junctional adenocarcinoma

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2020
AbstractBackground and AimConventional endoscopy for the early detection of esophageal and esophagogastric junctional adenocarcinoma (E/J cancer) is limited because early lesions are asymptomatic, and the associated changes in the mucosa are subtle.
