Case Illustration • M/64 Ex-smoker • Painless progressive dysphagia x 2-3 months • Weight loss+ • Physical examination unremarkable
Ca Cardia Before 1987 • Adenocarcinoma of cardia • Bad surgical result • Difficult discussion No clear definition
Ca Cardia 1987 • J Rudiger Siewert • AEG classification
AEG Classification Type I Distal esophagus cancer within 5cm from cardia Type II Directly located at endoscopic cardia, 1cm above and below this border Type III Subcardial cancer within 5cm from cardia J Am Coll Surg Vol.205, No.4S, Oct 2007
Epidemiology J Am Coll Surg Vol.205, No.4S, Oct 2007
Epidemiology J Am Coll Surg Vol.205, No.4S, Oct 2007
Type II Tumour • Barrett’s dysplasia vs Ca stomach • Intestinal metaplasia • Globlet cells in 100 specimens • Only 28% • 72% can be understood as gastric cancer J Am Coll Surg Vol.205, No.4S, Oct 2007
Epidemiology • Incidence increasing • AEG I • Western countries • AEG II / III • Asian countries Journal of Surgical Oncology 2005;92:160-168
