Purpose Of Review: There has been controversy in the management of gastroesophageal (GE) junction cancers with pre-operative chemoradiation and peri-operative chemotherapy as accepted practices. We aim to assess and compare the defining trials establishing current standards of care and discuss future directions seeking to further improve patient-centered outcomes in GE junction cancers.

Recent Findings: Over the last two decades, several large Phase III randomized trials have been conducted including GE junction cancers, showing superiority of 1) pre-operative chemoradiation over surgery (CROSS) and 2) peri-operative chemotherapy with FLOT over CROSS without radiotherapy (FLOT 4).

Abstarct: BACKGROUND: Early recurrence after esophagectomy is often used as a surrogate for aggressive tumor biology and treatment failure. However, there is no standardized definition of early recurrence, and predictors for early recurrence are unknown. Therefore, we aimed to define an evidence-based cutoff to discriminate early and late recurrence and assess the influence of neoadjuvant treatment modalities for patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal-junction adenocarcinoma (EAC).

Background And Aim: Docetaxel, oxaliplatin, leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil (FLOT) may improve overall survival (OS) in patients with locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal cancer. Our study aims to determine the pathological response in these patients with the FLOT chemotherapy in the Neoadjuvant setting. This is the first study conducted in our country.
