Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastroesophageal junction cancer is the eighth most common malignancy and the sixth most common cause of death secondary to cancer. Even though prognosis still largely depends on disease progression, recent breakthroughs have significantly improved associated outcomes. This Special Issue will focus on the advances of the diagnostics, endoscopic resections, perioperative therapies and minimally invasive and robotic techniques in the treatment of gastroesophageal malignancy. Esophagectomy presents high morbidity and mortality rates; however, a multimodal approach in the management of postoperative complications seems to offer good results, whereas minimally invasive approaches tend to improve part of the complications. The role of chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy in the curative and palliative setting of esophageal cancer will be discussed, whereas the therapeutic approach of the oligometastatic disease shall be presented.
