Multicenter Study Comparative Study Observational Study
[Surgical treatment of carcinomas of the oesophagogastric junction - results achieved in multicentre studies].
Adenocarcinomas of the oesophagogastric junction are increasingly being considered as a separated tumour entity. The prognosis is rather poorer compared with that for distal gastric cancer. Data from a multicentre study as part of research on clinical care aim to reflect the current situation in surgical treatment after inauguration of neoadjuvant modalities. ⋯ The results in the treatment of carcinomas of the oesophagogastric junction in the multicentre setting including surgical departments of each profile and region even after introduction of multimodal therapeutic concepts are not satisfying. In particular, modern diagnostic and surgical strategies need to be widely used or their percentage has to be increased. In this context, centralisation of the surgical care of this specific tumour entity appears reasonable.
