Characteristics of gastric cancer with esophageal invasion and aspects of surgical treatment.
2009
Background
Gastric cancer with esophageal invasion (GCE) is a disease of poor prognosis, and issues pertaining to surgical treatment still remain unresolved. Particularly problematic areas in GCE cases include the need for lower mediastinal lymph node (MSLN) dissection, the most effective surgical approach, and the optimal extent of the esophageal resection. In this study, we evaluate the characteristics of GCE and investigate aspects of surgical treatment.
