How to decide surgical procedure for esophagogastric junction cancer?
Standard surgical procedure for esophagogastric junction cancer, especially adenocarcinoma, has still remained controversial. Various procedures has been allowed and applied for Siewert type II tumors. Negative long resection margin had been regarded as essential in decision on the procedure. Recent papers have, however, shown the priority of invasion length to each side (esophagus and stomach), because it relates the frequency and sites of lymph node metastasis to be dissected. And, the size of remnant stomach is, also, important when a proximal gastrectomy is considered.
