Abstract
Due to the unique nature of its anatomical location, the adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has been a subject of controversy and disagreement including its definition, staging, and treatment strategies. Chinse expert Consensus on Surgical Treatment of Adenocarcinoma of Esophagogastric Junction in China (2018 Edition) had been released in September 2018 and had played a pioneering role in unifying thoracic and general surgeons in China on surgical treatment strategies for AEG. Over the past five years, the emergence of several clinical research results on AEG has provided new clinical evidence for the selection of key surgical treatment strategies. Therefore, to further standardize the surgical treatment of AEG in China, Chinese Expert Consensus on Surgical Treatment of Adenocarcinoma of Esophagogastric Junction in China (2024 Edition) was released in 2024 by Chinese expert panel including 25 gastrointestinal surgeons and 24 thoracic surgeons. Based on the highest-level clinical research evidence in recent 5 years, this consensus ultimately formulates 29 recommendations on hotspots and key points on surgical treatment of AEG and summary 5 issues that are still awaiting further exploration. This review will provide a summary and detailed interpretation of the recommendations outlined in this consensus.
