Surg Oncol Clin N Am. 2023 Jan;32(1):65-81. doi: 10.1016/j.soc.2022.07.006. Epub 2022 Nov 3.

Abstract

Optimal management of esophageal and gastric cancer during the perioperative period requires a coordinated multidisciplinary treatment effort. Accurate staging guides treatment strategy. Advances in minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy have reduced risks associated with resection while maintaining oncological standards. Although the standard perioperative chemo-and radiotherapy regimens have not yet been established, randomized control trials exploring this subject show promising results.
