[Differentiated surgical approach for adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction].
For adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) the classification of Siewert with its three subtypes is well established as a practical approach to surgical treatment. Transthoracic esophagectomy with gastric tube formation is generally accepted as the surgical standard for adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus (GEJ type I). Intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy has become the most frequently used anastomotic technique (Ivor Lewis esophagectomy). Both the abdominal and thoracic part can be safely performed with a minimally invasive access. For subcardiac gastric cancer (GEJ type III) transhiatal extended gastrectomy is the resection of choice. For true cardiac carcinomas (GEJ type II) it has not yet been decided which of the abovementioned surgical procedures offers the best long-term survival. If technically possible in terms of a complete resection, transhiatal extended gastrectomy should be preferred because of a better postoperative quality of life. For GEJ type II tumors a minimally invasive approach is not recommended if the extent of resection cannot be safely determined preoperatively.
