Carcinoma of The Esophagogastric Junction

G. V. Brindley Jr. M.D.1 and G. V. Brindley Sr. M.D.1

1 The Department of Surgery, Scott and White Clinic, Temple, Texas.

Early in its development, carcinoma of the esophagogastric junction may simulate other diseases or produce few symptoms. Clinical detection of this tumor while it is small and rather obscure may be difficult. Some pertinent aspects of the tumor and suggestions as to methods of diagnosis have been reviewed. When the neoplasm is confined to the esophagus and stomach, a good result often may be obtained by wide removal of all tissue containing tumor. Effective palliation frequently may be secured by appropriate operative and roentgen therapy. Indications for the various procedures, brief descriptions of the techniques and representative case reports have been presented.
