A new study explores the power of PET/MRI imaging to predict survival in patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, showing strong correlations between imaging metrics and long-term ...

With the laparoscopic approach, in contrast, excellent exposure of the esophagogastric junction is easily achieved, and the myotomy can be extended onto the gastric wall for about 2 to 2.5 cm.

11 Patients with a tumor in the esophagus or a tumor with an epicenter within 5 cm of the esophagogastric junction and extension into the esophagus were eligible. Selection criteria included a ...

The diagnosis of submucosal lesions in the stomach may be facilitated by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). EUS will discriminate intramural lesions from extrinsic compression, and will characterize a ...

Background: Due to controversial staging systems, classifying tumors of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) and the choice of the following surgical therapy remains a delicate affair. Methods: In this ...

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty consecutive patients with locally advanced adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction were studied by FDG-PET at baseline and 14 days after initiation of ...

These data further support the rationale for two new Phase 2 trials – SPEARHEAD-2 in head and neck cancer, which will begin later this year, and a second trial in esophagogastric junction (EGJ ...
