THE ROLE OF NEOADJUVANT POLYCHEMOTHERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF CARDIOESOPHAGEAL AND ESOPHAGEAL CANCER
Abstract
Currently, there is no standardized surgical strategy for the treatment of gastroesophageal junction cancer. The issues of resection margin, volume of lymph node dissection, and optimal size of the gastric stump remain debatable. The article discusses the impact of these parameters on relapse-free survival and postoperative quality of life of patients according to literature data.
