We describe our experience, gained over the past 3 years, in the treatment of gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, whose incidence has been increasing in recent years. In our series, we present the results to a follow-up of about 2 years for a total of 18 patients, treated with a particularly intensive combination treatment. It consists of neoadjuvant induction chemotherapy with the protocol docetaxel-cisplatin-5-fluorouracil for four cycles, before a concomitant chemoradiotherapy treatment. During combined phase, patients received an intensity-modulated radiotherapy and a weekly cisplatin. We will present the data to a long follow-up time and we will discuss the literature, the integration with thoracoabdominal surgery and other specific issues of this pathology.

Abstract

We describe our experience, gained over the past 3 years, in the treatment of gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, whose incidence has been increasing in recent years. In our series, we present the results to a follow-up of about 2 years for a total of 18 patients, treated with a particularly intensive combination treatment. It consists of neoadjuvant induction chemotherapy with the protocol docetaxel-cisplatin-5-fluorouracil for four cycles, before a concomitant chemoradiotherapy treatment. During combined phase, patients received an intensity-modulated radiotherapy and a weekly cisplatin. We will present the data to a long follow-up time and we will discuss the literature, the integration with thoracoabdominal surgery and other specific issues of this pathology.
