Background: Due to the complex histological type and anatomical structures, there has been considerable debate on the classification of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG), especially Siewert II AEG. Furthermore, neither the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 7th tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) [esophageal adenocarcinoma (E) or gastric cancer (G)] nor the AJCC 8th TNM (E or G) accurately predicted the prognosis of patients with Siewert II AEG.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the survival and prognosis of patients with Siewert II AEG and establish a new and better prognostic predictive model.

Design: A retrospective study.

Methods: Patients with Siewert II AEG, retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases, were assigned to the training set. Patients retrieved from a single tertiary medical center were assigned to the external validation set. Significant variables were selected using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to construct the nomogram. Nomogram models were assessed using the concordance index (C-index), a calibration plot, decision curve analysis (DCA), and external validation.

Results: Age, tumor grade, and size, as well as the T, N, and M stages, were included in the nomograms. For the SEER training set, the C-index of the nomogram was 0.683 (0.665-0.701). The C-index of the nomogram for the external validation set was 0.690 (0.653-0.727). The calibration curve showed good agreement between the nomogram estimations and actual observations in both the training and external validation sets. The DCA showed that the nomogram was clinically useful.

Conclusion: The new predictive model showed significant accuracy in predicting the prognosis of Siewert II AEG.

Objective: To develop and validate a model for preoperative prediction of positive proximal margins for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) by transabdominal approach, and to analyze the safe margin distances for patients with different risks of positive proximal margins.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 284 AEG patients who underwent surgery via the transabdominal approach at Hengshui People's Hospital between January 2017 and December 2023. Patients were divided into a training set (=201, first five years) and a test set (=83, last two years).

Background: Tubular anastomosis is commonly used in proximal gastrectomy; however, its use in stage II esophagogastric conjugate cancer is currently unclear. In this study, we investigated the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of Siewert II/III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction after modified proximal gastrectomy with tubular esophagogastric anastomosis compared with total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.

Methods: We collected the clinical data of patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy tubular esophagogastric anastomosis (PG-TEA) and total gastrectomy Roux-en-Y reconstruction (TG-RY) from October 2015 to October 2018.

Objective: The safety of proximal gastrectomy (PG) for the treatment of advanced Siewert II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) remains debatable. In this study, we aim to evaluate the oncological safety of PG and the metastasis rate of key distal lymph node dissection, which is typically excluded in PG.

Method: This study retrospective collected advanced Siewert II AEG patients who underwent gastrectomy at the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) from January 2014 to December 2019.

In recent years, with the popularization of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic transphrenic approach (LTP) surgery for Siewert Type II adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has gradually been applied in clinical practice. This technique combines the advantages of transthoracic and transabdominal approaches, achieving a combined operation of the thoracic and abdominal cavities. It can achieve thorough lymph node dissection, safe esophageal resection margin, and reliable digestive tract reconstruction, and has promising application prospects.

Background: The present study aimed to analyze the independent risk factors for intraoperative bleeding in Siewert II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) using two minimally invasive surgical approaches, namely, the laparoscopy-assisted abdominal trans-hiatal (LTH) method and transthoracic-laparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE).

Methods: The clinical data of 100 patients with SiewertII AEG admitted to our hospital from October 2017 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the type of surgery, the patients were divided into LTH approach group and TLE approach group.
