Staging and preoperative evaluation of upper gastrointestinal malignancies by Abdalla, Eddie

“…In gastric cancer, the region of nodal metastasis has been abandoned in favor of the number of lymph nodes containing metastasis, which predicts outcome more accurately—patients with more than 15 positive lymph nodes have an outcome comparable to those with M disease. Increasing consideration is being given to the subclassification of tumors near the GEJ into types based on anatomical position, although this staging scheme (“Full-size image (<1 K)denocarcinoma of the Full-size image (<1 K)sophagoFull-size image (<1 K)astric junction” or AEG type) has not yet been universally adopted. …”
