ABSTRACT
Currently, the prevalence of gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJAC) is increasing in both Asian and Western countries, although the increasing rate in Asian countries is much slower than in Western countries. With these current trends, concerns regarding the surgical treatment method are also increasing among gastrointestinal surgeons. However, the surgical treatment for GEJAC has been a controversial issue for a long time due to the relative scarcity of this tumor and its characteristics from its borderline location. Recently, a large-scale prospective study of this tumor has been conducted in Japan, and the results are now available. The results of this study will be helpful for understanding this tumor. In this article, the pattern of lymph node metastasis of GEJAC is reviewed, and the extent and method of lymph node dissection for this tumor are discussed and proposed based on the review.
