Abstract
The surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) involves thoracic and abdominal cavities. With no general consensus on the surgical treatment modality for AEG in China, the understanding and surgical practice of AEG are controversial between thoracic and gastrointestinal surgeons. Chinese expert consensus on the surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (2018 edition) was released in September 2018 by the Chinese expert panel including 19 thoracic surgeons and 20 gastrointestinal surgeons. The formulation and publication of this consensus has increased homogeneity of the understanding of the disease in different disciplines to a certain extent, and has facilitated standardized surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. The consensus was based on the best available clinical evidence and the latest national and international guidelines and consensus. Several rounds of discussion and voting were conducted. Finally, 27 statements on surgery-related recommendations and 9 issues requiring further investigation were reached in the consensus, which basically cover the fields and research hotspots of surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric juncton. This review will explain in details the Chinese expert consensus on the surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.
