Cancer that starts here is called gastro oesophageal junction (GOJ) cancer. It might also be called oesophago gastric junctional cancer. Cancer is when abnormal cells start to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way.

If necessary, surgery also can be considered to help the lax oesophageal sphincter, usually by performing a fundoplication in which part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower oesophagus.

2021年3月1日 · We here review available evidence with regards to tumour progression occurring at the gastro-oesophageal junction and contrast it with available data on cancer evolution in the metaplastic oesophagus and distal stomach. Adenocarcinomas of the gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) represent a heterogeneous tumour entity.

Tumours around the gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) pose several specific challenges. Numerous difficulties arise when the existing TNM staging systems for gastric and oesophageal cancers are applied to GOJ tumours. The issues facing the current TNM staging and GOJ tumour classification systems are reviewed in this article.

The optimal treatment strategy for locally advanced distal oesophageal and gastrooesophageal junction (GOJ) adenocarcinoma is currently not clear. Surgery as a main curative modality is usually combined with either preoperative chemoradiotherapy or ...
